Bird Of The Summering North.

Topics: classic

Bird of the summering North,     Whither away?     Fly you so gaily forth     Simply to stay     Nested in northern bowers     Till the late flushing flowers     Turn in October hours     Ashen and gray?     Bear, then, this message, Dove,     When you depart,     Safe to my northern Love,     Quick! Like a dart!     Bill her and coo her this     Seal of triumphant bliss,     One young, immortal kiss,     Hot from my heart.     Then, in the autumn time,     Tailing the pole,     From my Love's cooling clime     Make me your goal;     Flash to this field of Fame,     Linked with her darling name,     All her concordant flame,     Deep from her soul.
