A THOUSAND flowerets of a thousand hues Born of the sunset and the early dawn, Burn in the darker forest and suffuse An unimagined brightness o'er the lawn. These are the days I give my heart in pawn To thee, O nature, and the world refuse; These are the days I feel my footsteps drawn To seek the wayward motions of the muse! I have not long enough on earth to stay To lose the joy of one bright summer day; One quiet day of peace, ah many a one! Full of the song of birds and tremulous With sunshine; let the world seek after us: The muse and I are wandering with the sun.
