'Hear you the songs of spring?'
(I'll be posting poems on April all week here - the most popular month to be penned in verse. Join me in the celebration of this most loveliest month!)
Over the Land is April - Robert Louis Stevenson
Over the land is April,
Over my heart a rose;
Over the high, brown mountain
The sound of singing goes.
Say, love, do you hear me,
Hear my sonnets ring?
Over the high, brown mountain,
Love, do you hear me sing?
By highway, love, and byway
The snows succeed the rose.
Over the high, brown mountain
The wind of winter blows.
Say, love, do you hear me,
Hear my sonnets ring?
Over the high, brown mountain
I sound the song of spring,
I throw the flowers of spring.
Do you hear the song of spring?
Hear you the songs of spring?
Lovely. I've always liked R. L. Stevenson, but it would be great to hear more of yourself Siobhan.
ReplyDeleteAh thank you Marian. I must confess I don't know much of his poetry, but am intrigued to seek it out... I only publish famous poems and poets here, but am taking part in NaPoWriMo, writing a poem a day, which you see here: http://napowrimobysiobhan.blogspot.ie/
