A BIRTHDAY IN NOVEMBER
WHAT bird's song for her birthday can I find?
What blossom by the rain not rent & bowed?
What green-left spray, of summer to remind,
When woods are leafless, and the wind is loud?
What blossom by the rain not rent & bowed?
What green-left spray, of summer to remind,
When woods are leafless, and the wind is loud?
Sweeter my song shall be than wood-birds sing,
Fairer my flower than summer rose shall prove,
Greener my leaf-crown than the woods in spring,
A simple verse that breathes of living love.
Fairer my flower than summer rose shall prove,
Greener my leaf-crown than the woods in spring,
A simple verse that breathes of living love.
