All on One Side
S
Her ever-changing, wayward moods,
As I adore the sky above;
The far blue hills; the dark, green woods;
The noisy brook; the torrent’s roar;
The glamour of a moonlight night;
The never-ending ocean’s shore;
The fleecy cloud-heads, soft and white.
Though I should love a thousand years!
If I am sad when sunlight glares,
Will cloudless skies weep scalding tears?
And will my gladness dry the rain?
Will Nature smile and join my glee?
Will Nature love me back again?
I think not—and no more will She!
