Subject(s): Secrets
Deep down in the vale is a canyon green,
Where a brook sings low to itself, between
Ranks of poplars brown and gold
That glint and gleam if the sun is bold.
I love the bosky twilight there,
Where bird-songs tremble along the air,
And a hidden sweetness still unfound
Lingers and lurks in the scent of the ground,
The breath of the brook, the spice of the leaves,
And the dewy net the watercress weaves.
Come with me there! I will show you how
The green makes room for the golden bough,
And the delicate way a willow knows
To fondle the water while it flows;
And if you are tenderest, kindest, best,
I will show you a blue-bird's darling nest!
