Nature
Song
From The Oxford Book of Victorian Verse (1912)
Nature
O, it was out by Donnycarney,
When the bat flew from tree to tree,
My love and I did walk together;
And sweet were the words she said to me!
Along with us the summer wind
Went murmuring — O, happily! —
But softer than the breath of summer
Was the kiss she gave to me.
