CHANGE AND INTERCHANGE
When birds were songless on the bough
I heard thee sing.
The world was full of winter, thou
Wert full of spring.
I heard thee sing.
The world was full of winter, thou
Wert full of spring.
To-day the world's heart feels anew
The vernal thrill,
And thine, near the o'er-brooding yew,
Is wintry chill.
The vernal thrill,
And thine, near the o'er-brooding yew,
Is wintry chill.
1881
