THE WIND IN THE TREES
Sound of waters in the tree
All new-leafed and heavenly,
Waters going, waters flowing
To some far belovèd sea.
All new-leafed and heavenly,
Waters going, waters flowing
To some far belovèd sea.
Every tree is vocal; under
The clear bird-notes a soft thunder
Of the waters flowing, going
Some dim waterway of wonder.
The clear bird-notes a soft thunder
Of the waters flowing, going
Some dim waterway of wonder.
Sound of waters hurrying past,
Rivers travelling, quiet, fast,
Many waters, flowing, growing,
Find the belovèd sea at last.
Rivers travelling, quiet, fast,
Many waters, flowing, growing,
Find the belovèd sea at last.
