In the fields and the lanes again! <br />There's a bird that sings in my ear <br />Messages, messages; <br />The green cool song that I long to hear. <br /> <br />It pipes to me out of a tree <br />Messages, messages; <br />This is the voice of the sunshine, <br />This is the voice of grass and the trees. <br /> <br />It is the joy of Earth <br />Out of the heaven of the trees: <br />The voice of a bird in the sunshine singing me <br />Messages, messages.<br /><br />Arthur Symons<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-the-vale-of-llangollen/
