THE MYSTERY

AS up and down the world I go, All ancient do the places show; The gardens full of honey bees, The roofs, the high and windy trees.
April begins. The half-grown pear, Out in the lane buds white and fair; Long since — for I can see it plain — It blossomed in just such a lane.
This tender light upon the glass, Long since I saw across the grass, Perhaps in Rouen, perhaps in Rome; Where'er — I know that it was home.
