| The Bird’s Song, the Sun, and the Wind |
| | | Sir Charles George Douglas Roberts (1860–1943) |
| |
| |
| THE BIRD’S song, the sun, and the wind— | |
| The wind that rushes, the sun that is still, | |
| The song of the bird that sings alone, | |
| And wide light washing the lonely hill! | |
| |
| The Spring’s coming, the buds and the brooks— | 5 |
| The brooks that clamor, the buds in the rain, | |
| The coming of Spring that comes unprayed for, | |
| And eyes that welcome it not for pain! | |
