And let men learn the secret of that bloom

And all its beauty’s wonder, they shall know

Life to the core; and they with God may go

To make a daisy or the day of doom.

AFTER LONG WANDERING

I will go back to Gloucestershire,

To the spot where I was born,

To the talk at eve with men and women

And song on the roads at morn.

And I’ll sing as I tramp by dusty hedges
