1 tihall see birches quickening
To silver in the sun,
Aiul casting fleeting shadows
When the day is done.
There will be nights of silence,
Or from a distant hill,
The melancholy echo
Os a whippoorwill.
And there will be the sunrise,
Each morning; and at noon
The* breathless, gliding splendor
Os the deep lagoon.
But will it be, I wonder,
As desolate and wild,
As closely swathed in solitude
As when I was a child?
