Sing, Old Hills, Your Ancient Song

Sing, old hills, your ancient song,

Of tit and thrush and sparrow,

As Spring's meek sun paints gold

Bare trees clawing hungrily

Upon this empty heaven.


While Autumn rots forgot where

Winter laid her silver stoles,

Praise new things and dance

Over brook and fen and meadow,

Alive for one more Summer's roar.
