WOOLGATHERING, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Youth that goes woolgathering
Last Line: Comes of youth's woolgathering.


Youth that goes woolgathering,
Mooning and stargazing,
Always finding everything
Full of fresh amazing,
Best will meet the moment's need
When the dream brings forth the deed.

He who keeps through all his days
Open eyes of wonder
Is the lord of skiey ways,
And the earth thereunder:
For the heart to do and sing
Comes of youth's woolgathering.
