Birds of PassageFlight the Third. The Brook and the Wave
T
As sang the bard of old,
Running with feet of silver
Over the sands of gold!
There rolled a turbulent wave,
Now singing along the sea-beach,
Now howling along the cave.
Though they flowed so far apart,
And has filled with its freshness and sweetness
That turbulent, bitter heart!
