First Line: One hour in every hundred hours
Last Line: In songs of childhood, flowers and birds.
Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H.


ONE hour in every hundred hours
I sing of childhood, birds and flowers;
Who reads my character in song
Will not see much in me that's wrong.

But in my ninety hours and nine
I would not tell what thoughts are mine:
They're not so pure as find their words
In songs of childhood, flowers and birds.
