Nature
In the Mediterranean--Going to the War
From Songs of Peace (1917)
Nature
Lovely wings of gold and green
Flit about the sounds I hear,
On my window when I lean
To the shadows cool and clear.
* * * * *
Roaming, I am listening still,
Bending, listening overlong,
In my soul a steadier will,
In my heart a newer song.
