A SONG OF THE HILLS, by MAY LACKEY CAMPBELL First Line: When blue mists of fair aurora Last Line: "youth is mating -- time is stealing." Subject(s): God; Nature; Singing & Singers; Songs | ||||||||
When blue mists of fair Aurora Twine gay rainbow-tinted hills, Voices call and Echoes answer Birds and trees by mountain rills. "Spring is here, with flow'rs adorning; Leap to greet the gay glad Morning; Sing afar with lilting voices: Day is near and Earth rejoices. Chorus "Hark! 'Dance in the morning,' gay redbirds sing; Hark! Bluebirds are singing and bluebells ring; List! Greet Day with laughter, in rose and gold; List! Spread well the story Day's whispers told: Shout! Praise the Great Father whose Will gave birth To all the Beauties of Heav'n and Earth. "Day is here, new gladness bringing; Love is here with maidens singing; Buds are bursting, hearts revealing; Youth is mating -- Time is stealing." | Discover our poem explanations - click here!Other Poems of Interest...THE APOLLO TRIO by CONRAD AIKEN BAD GIRL SINGING by MARK JARMAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 4 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 5 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 28 by JAMES JOYCE THE SONG OF THE NIGHTINGALE IS LIKE THE SCENT OF SYRINGA by MINA LOY BROTHERHOOD by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON TO MARY CHURCH TERRELL - LECTURER by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON |
