Two SONGS

The sun IS gone from the valleys,
The air breathes fresh and chill;
On the barn roof yellow with lichen
A robis Is singing shrill.
Like tawny leaf is his bosom.
Like dead leaf is his wing.
lie Is glad Of the coming Winter
As tbs thrush IS glad Of the Spring.
The sound o6 a shepherds piping
Comes down from a dastant fold
Like the ripple OF running water,
As tuneless and sweet and cold.
Inc two songs mingle together;
Like and unlike are they,
For one sounds tired and plaintive.
And one rings proud and gay.
They take no thought Of their music.
The bird and the shepherd lad;
But the bird voice thrills with raptnre.
And the human note is sad.
