June Bracken And Heather

Topics: classic

There on the top of the down, The wild heather round me and over me Junes high blue, When I lookd at the bracken so bright and the heather so brown, I thought to myself I would offer this book to you, This, and my love together, To you that are seventy-seven, With a faith as clear as the heights of the June-blue heaven, And a fancy as summer-new As the green of the bracken amid the gloom of the heather.
