GREEN THINGS GROWING

Oh, the green things growing, the green things growing,

The faint sweet smell of the green things growing!

I should love to live, whether I smile or grieve,

Just to watch the happy life of my green things growing.

Oh, the fluttering and the pattering of those green things growing,

How they talk to each other, when none of us are knowing.

In the wonderful white by the weird moonlight,

Of the dim dreamy dawn when the cocks are crowing.
