A sweeter minstrel dwells
Than ever piped q morn or even note
In all the song-swept dells.
It Is no voice that scars
Unwearying to the blue:

Swayed by light w.nds-a thrill
Keen as the leaf feels when the spring
sap swells
And sculptures II at win.
And ere the lips can say
A song has been. aware
OF mystery, the soul has lost Its way
Doubling and dreaming there.
As one in shadowed bowers
OF sleep may hear q strain
Which haunts his memory in his waking
hours.
Nor makes It's meaning plain.
