53. Arcady Unheeding

SHEPHERDS go whistling on their way

In the spring season of the year;

One watches weather-signs of day;

One of his maid most dear

Dreams; and they do not hear

The birds that sing and sing; they do not see

Wide wealds of blue beyond their windy lea,

Nor blossoms red and white on every tree.
