The Quiet Life

Excerpt from The Quiet Life: Certain Verses by Various Hands

Oi Spring that breaks with all her leaves, Of birds that build in thatch and eaves, Of woodlands where the throstle calls, Of girls that gather cowslip balls, Of kine that low and lambs that cry, Of wains that jolt and rumble by.
