If I could make a little song -- A little song to soothe my heart! I'd make it all of little things -- The plash of water, rub of wings, The puffing-off of dandie's crown, The hiss of raindrop spilling down, The purr of cat, the trill of bird, And ev'ry whispering I've heard From willy wind in leaves and grass, And all the distant drones that pass. A song as tender and as light As flower, or butterfly in flight; And when I saw it opening, I'd let is fly and sing! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IN WALKED BUD WITH A PALETTE by CLARENCE MAJOR THE KINGS by LOUISE IMOGEN GUINEY PEARLS OF THE FAITH: 42.
