Last Line: When a song is in the wind.
Subject(s): Love - Loss Of; Solitude; Spring; Loneliness


When a song is in the wind
And the sapling whispereth
As a child will catch its breath,
Telling good news long confined,
Then I know the spring is come
And its hosts with full accord
Soon will praise the sun, their Lord,
In a mild delirium.

Once again the high-arched door
Of life's vernal temple swings
Open, and gay blossomings
Strew its green mosaic floor;
Once again the choristers
Of the erst chill solitudes
Pipe their anthems in the woods,
Filled with humble worshipers.

Ah, I know that life is fair
When the sigh of spring is heard,
And my lonely heart is stirred
By the music echoed there!
But I know that love is blind,
For I still may not rejoice—
No! I miss a loved one's voice
When a song is in the wind.
