Verse For Today
I would not shun the stream; I ask ho loosening of the load of care', I seek no laggard’s ease beside the way; but where the land falls bright with ‘ summer air, where the leaves whisper to the drift of day, leave me to dream. I need no comrade near; I ask no counsel from the secret skies, i no courage from the crying of a throng; but when the stream laughs autumn litanies, _ when the May sap stirs all the field with song, grant me to hear. From “The Tramp,” by Geoffrey Winthrop Young. 1878— [Methuen.]
