The Thrush

Topics: classic

Across the land came a magic word     When the earth was bare and lonely,     And I sit and sing of the joyous spring,     For 'twas I who heard, I only!     Then dreams came by, of the gladsome days,     Of many a wayside posy;     For a crocus peeps where the wild rose sleeps,     And the willow wands are rosy!     Oh! the time to be! When the paths are green,     When the primrose-gold is lying     'Neath the hazel spray, where the catkins sway,     And the dear south wind comes sighing.     My mate and I, we shall build a nest,     So snug and warm and cosy,     When the kingcups gleam on the meadow stream,     Where the willow wands are rosy!
