THE BANDRUIDH by WILLIAM SHARP

First Line: MY ROBE IS OF GREEN
Last Line: THE SWEET SOUND OF THE SOUTH!
Subject(s): METAPHOR; NATURE; SPRING; SIMILES;

My robe is of green,
My crown is of stars—
The grass is the green
And the daisies the stars:
O'er lochan and streamlet
My breath moveth sweet . . .
Bonnie blue lochans,
Hillwaters fleet.

The song in my heart
Is the song of the birds,
And the wind in my heart
Is the lowing of herds:
The light in my eyes,
And the breath of my mouth,
Are the clouds of spring-skies
And the sound of the South.

@3(The Airs of Spring)@1

Grass-green from thy mouth
The sweet sound of the South!
