First Line: My mind is very swift and gay
Last Line: Beside a low green hill.
Alternate Author Name(s): Schauffler, Mrs. Robert H.
Subject(s): Memory
My mind is very swift and gay;
She flutters to and fro,
She knows a thousand things to play,
A thousand roads to go;
But oh, my heart will never play —
She sits and watches still
A stone she saw them set one day
Beside a low green hill.
