The birds they go over us TWO and by two,
The mono is mated; his bride in the boughs
Sits nursing his babe, and his passionate vows
OF love. you may hear them the whole day through
The lizard, the cayman, the white-toothed ooar,
The serpents that glide in the sword-ieai grass
The beasts that abide the birds thae pas -, ,o
They are glad in their loves as the greeh-e eioi'
There is nothing that is that can yield one bliss
Tjka ON innocent love; the leaves have tongue
And fine tides talk low in the reeds ana the young
And tbe ouick buds open their lips but for this.
Tn tbe steep and the starry silences,
ON The stormy levels of the limitless seas,
OR here in the deeps of the dark-brow'd trees,
. There is nothing SO much a brave mans kiss.
There is nothing so strong, in the stream, on the
land,
In the valley of palms, on the pinnacled snow,
In the clouds of the gods on the grasses below,
As the silk-soft touch of baby's brown hand.
1t were better to sit and to spin on stone
The whole year through with babe at the knee,
With its brown hands reaching caressingy,
Than to sit in girdle of gold and alone.
o barren dull days, where never the brown
Sweet hand of a babe hides back i'll The hair
When a mother comes home with her buftheh oi
care
And over the life of her life bends down.
1t were better perhaps to be mothers OF men, -,
And to murmur not much; ihcre arc '0 " -'
