DO THOU SPEAK NOW, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: To thee I wandered daily, dearest wood
Last Line: Joy, pain are dumb. I'll hearken now to thee.
Alternate Author Name(s): Meyer, Konrad


To thee I wandered daily, dearest wood.
In hazy days of youth, now long gone by:
I would confide thee so much dreamed-of good,
From such true sorrow thou wouldst hear me sigh.

And thee again, my sombre haunt, I seek,
The murmur of thy treetops' mighty sea--
Do thou speak now! For I shall let thee speak!
Joy, pain are dumb. I'll hearken now to thee.
