william henry davies - in may - richard mitchley lyrics

yes, i will spend the livelong day
with nature in this month of may;
and sit beneath the trees, and share
my bread with birds whose homes are there;
while cows lie down to eat, and sheep
stand to their necks in grass so deep;
while birds do sing with all their might
as though they felt the earth in flight
this is the hour i dreamed of, when
i sat surrounded by poor men;
and thought of how the arab sat
alone at evening, gazing at
the stars that bubbled in clear skies;

and of young dreamers, whеn their eyes
enjoyеd methought a precious boon
in the adventures of the moon
whose light, behind the clouds’ dark bars
searched for her stolen flocks of stars
when i, hemmed in by wrecks of men
thought of some lonely cottage then
full of sweet books; and miles of sea
with passing ships, in front of me;
and having, on the other hand
a flowery, green, bird*singing land
