Warm nests to call me along the woodland way?
Spring, happy Spring, what wonder will you do for me? Light the tulip lanterns, and set the furze a-fire? Fill your sky with sails of cloud on waves of living blue for me? Show me green cornfields and budding of the briar? Spring, darling Spring, my days will not return to me, You who see them fleeting, you, all time above, You who move the whole world's heart, ah move one heart to turn to me, --Bring me a lover, and teach me how to love! SONG. "LOVE me little, love me long," Is the burden of my song, And if nothing more may be Little shall suffice for me. But if you could crown with flowers All my radiant, festal hours, And console for hours of sorrow Love me more with each to-morrow. And if you would turn my days To one splendid hymn of praise, And set hopes like stars above me Love me much, and always love me! THE MAGIC FLOWER. |
