No Bobolink reverse His Singing
No Bobolink reverse His Singing
When the only Tree
Ever He minded occupying
By the Farmer be
Clove to the Root
His Spacious Future
Best Horizon gone
Whose Music be His
Only Anodyne
Brave Bobolink

Fast speedeth the night away, Soon […]...

- These, I, Singing in Spring THESE, I, singing in spring, collect for lovers, (For who but I should understand lovers, and all their sorrow and joy? And who but I should be the poet of comrades?)

You made no sound in the grass with your footfall, As far as you went from the door, which was not far; But had awakened under the morning star The first song-bird that awakened all the rest. He could have slept but a moment more at […]...
