Who IS it sings the gypsies songs to-
night
To muted strings,
Deep in the linden shade beyond the
light
My easement filings?
Can It be Death who sings? All, no,
not he,
For he is old
His voice is like the murmur of the sea
When light grows cold.
Who is it sings once more. once more
again
The gypsy song?-
Song of the open road, the starry plain
Estranged so long:
"Come to the woods, come. for the
woods are green,
The sweet airs blow,
The hawthorn boughs the forest boles
between
Are white as snow"
The wet leaves stir:the dim trees dream
again
or vanished springs;
rain
Ny lost youth sings.
