Shall wander with you all the while,

And, as in many a bygone Spring,

Hear cuckoo call and ousel sing.

And, when you homeward wend, along

A land all blithe with bleat and song,

Where lambs that skip and larks that soar

Make this old world seem young once more,

And with the wildwood flowers that fill

Your April laps deck shelf and sill,

I shall be there to guide your hand,
