SWIFTLY the years, beyond recall. Solemn the stillness of this fair morning. I will clothe myself in spring-clothing And visit the slopes of the Eastern Hill. By the mountain-stream a mist hovers, Hovers a moment, then scatters. There comes a wind blowing from the south That brushes the fields of new corn. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE VEGETABLES by JAMES MCMICHAEL THE MAIZE by WILLIAM WHITEMAN FOSDICK THE WAVING OF THE CORN by SIDNEY LANIER LAUGHING CORN by CARL SANDBURG THE HUSKERS by JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER A FLORIDA GHOST by SIDNEY LANIER OLNEY HYMNS: 35.
