A WOOD SONG, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: My love is a bush in bloom
Last Line: And dearer far than you.
Subject(s): Forests; Love; Singing & Singers; Woods


My love is a bush in bloom,
My love is a bird in the air,
My love is an April day,
And a wind with golden hair.

A melody is my love
That trembles and glistens and goes,
A forest in bud is my love
Where hidden laughter flows.

Good-bye, O sweet-lipped maiden,
O trusted friend, adieu!
My old love is my new love
And dearer far than you.
