For I hear you at your play, And the questions that perplexed me Ye the eastern windows, open That look towards the sun, Where thoughts are singing swallows And the brooks of morning run. In your hearts are the birds and the sunshine, But in mine is the wind of Autumn Ah! what would the world be to us xir CHILDREN. What the leaves are to the forest, That to the world are children; Come to me, O ye children! And whisper in my ear What the birds and the winds are singing For what are all our contrivings, Ye are better than all the ballads For ye are living poems, And all the rest are dead. LONGFELLOW. |
