Myth and Romance
There is no rhyme that is half so sweet
As the song of the wind in the rippling wheat;
There is no metre that\'s half so fine
As the lilt of the brook under rock and vine;
And the loveliest lyric I ever heard
Was the wildwood strain of a forest bird.--
If the wind and the brook and the bird would teach
My heart their beautiful parts of speech.
