SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 25 by BLISS CARMAN

First Line: YOU PIPERS IN THE SWALES
Last Line: ONE SLEEPLESS NIGHT IN SPRING.
Subject(s): PIPERS;

You pipers in the swales,
Tune up your reedy flutes,
And blow and blow to bring me back
My little girl in spring!
Take all the world beside,
And flute it far away
For less than nought, but give me back
One sleepless night in spring.
