Green Fields and Running Brooks (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Green Fields and Running Brooks Ho! green fields and running brooks! Knotted strings and fishing-hooks Of the truant, stealing down Weedy back-ways of the town. Where the sunshine overlooks, By green fields and running brooks, All intruding guests of chance With a golden tolerance. Cooing doves, or pensive pair Of picnickers, straying there - By green fields and running brooks, Sylvan shades and mossy nooks! And - O Dreamer of the Days, Murmurer of roundelays All unsung of words or books, Sing green fields and running brooks!
