The songs of Sherwood Forest <br />Are lilac-sweet and clear; <br />The virile rhymes of merrier times <br />Sound fair upon mine ear. <br /> <br />Sweet is their sylvan cadence <br />And sweet their simple art. <br />The balladry of the greenwood tree <br />Stirs memories in my heart. <br /> <br />O braver days and elder <br />With mickle valor dight, <br />How ye bring back the time, alack! <br />When Harry Smith could write!<br /><br />Franklin P.
