SONG by FRANCIS LEDWIDGE

First Line: THE WINDS ARE SCENTED WITH WOODS AFTER RAIN
Last Line: AND THE RAINDROP SHED FROM THE DAISY'S EYE.
Subject(s): DAISIES; FLOWERS; RAIN; SMELLS; WIND; ODORS; AROMAS; FRAGRANCES;
THE winds are scented with woods after rain,
And a raindrop shines in the daisy's eye.
Shall we follow the swallow again, again,
Ah! little yearning thing, you and I?

You and I to the South again,
And heart! Oh, heart, how you shall sigh,
For the kind soft wind that follows the rain,
And the raindrop shed from the daisy's eye.
