I swing on as one in a dream—I swing.

Down the very hollows, I shout, I sing.

The world is gone like an empty word;

My body’s a bough in the wind,—my heart a bird.

—Edwin Markham.

IN BLOSSOM TIME.

Its O my heart, my heart,

To be out in the sun and sing,

To sing and shout in the fields about,

In the balm and blossoming.
