BY WALTER HEADLAM.
AS the song OF a bird in May
Shall my song be,
That close in q brake all day
Sits powered and sings;
For there in his chosen home
To his mate pipes he,
Nor cares for a while to roam
On travelling wings
Only TO sing unseen
Is now his thought,
Beneath and around him green,
And the blue above;
Winter IS overpaSt,
And he cares naught,
But rested in peace at last
Has found his love.
Far have l roamed, how far!
And might not rest;
Long have l sought my star,
In vain how long!
