long for shsdowy forest, where the birds
Twittcr and chirp at aoon from every tree,
long for blussomed leaves and lowing h'tus'
And natures voices say, In mystic words;
The green fields wait for thee"
dream OF upIands. where the primrose shines
Aud waves her yellow lamps above the leai
OF tangled copses, swung with tfalluk vines
OF open vistas skirtci with tan plhe-'
Where green fields wait ior me-
Think Of long. sweet afternoons when
NAV lie and listen to the distant sea,
Or insect voices. chipping shrtll and dry,
In fields that wait for me.
Those dreams Of summer come to bid me hnd
The forests shade. the wild birds melody
While summers rosy wreaths for me are twined,
While summers fragrance fingers on the wind,
Aud green fields wait for me.
