A little island in the river <br />There is, round which the breezes quiver <br />Like sweet birds that would stay <br />A moment on their way, <br />So green it is with leaves and grass, <br />And chequered by the clouds that pass <br />Far over in the blue above: <br />As sweet with flowers as life with love, <br />And breathing of a mood <br />That, like a wild bird in the city's din, <br />Though far from all its kith and kin, <br />Sustains its solitude.<br /><br />Robert Crawford<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-river-isle/
