In Forest Land (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from In Forest Land<br><br>Let other bards their harps attune To sing of gold and courts and kings; But leave to me the hush of June The music that the forest sings. Let other bards from fields of blood Send up their hymns to mighty Mars; But leave to me the quiet wood The tender moonlight and the stars.<br><br>I''ll hang my harp upon a tree Where ev''ry passing breeze may play And catch the leafy minstrelsy The music of the shaded way. Yea I will teach this harp of mine To sing the song the forest sings To mingle with the sob of pine The silver aspen''s whisperings.<br><br>For I would find that sweetest chord That makes the forest harmony Would wake at will the music poured To ev''ry zephyr by the tree.<br><br>To know thee more my spirit longs O melody of leaves astir.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
