Alternate Author Name(s): Macleod, Fiona

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.
(The Airs of Spring)
Grass-green from thy mouth
The sweet sound of the South!
