SONGS as sweet as summer brings To your flowery lawn should fly, If my verses had the wings-- Wings of birds that haunt the sky. Like the spark that upward springs, They would seek your smiling hearth, If my verses had the wings-- Wings such as a spirit hath. Near you, close as ivy clings, They would dwell by night and day, If my verses had the wings-- Wings like love to speed the way. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FOR A' THAT AND A' THAT; SONG by ROBERT BURNS FOUND WANTING by EMILY DICKINSON EVANGELINE; A TALE OF ACADIE by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW SONGS OF TRAVEL: 45.
