To oasChiId.

The leaves talked in the twilight, dear
Hearken the tale they told:
How, in some far-off place and year,
Before the world grew old.
l was dreaming forest-tree
You were wild, sweet bird
That sheltered at the heart of me
Because the north wind stirred
How. when the chiding gale was still,
When peace fell soft on fear,
You stayed one golden hour to fill
My dream with singing, dear.
Tonight, the self.same songs are sung
The first green forest heard;
My heart and the gray world grow
young
To shelter you, my bird.

lers.
