A SONG, by                    
First Line: Days, I go very gayly
Last Line: Wanting my own little house and light.
Subject(s): Wellesley College


DAYS, I go very gayly
Up the roads and down,
Glad that the wind is shaggy and wild,
Glad that the hills are brown.
A very gipsy I am, by day,
Adventuring quite in a gipsy way.

But when the dusk comes drifting
Across the tall sky's face,
When yellow lamps smile quaintly out
From every window-place, --
No gipsy at all am I, at night,
Wanting my own little house and light.
