HER LOVER, by DOLLIE CAROLINE MAITLAND RADFORD Poet's Biography First Line: The birds sang from the tree Last Line: "my heart is glad." Alternate Author Name(s): Radford, Ernest, Mrs. | |||
THE birds sang from the tree, "Sweetheart Go forth across the silent hills, For, in the vale their shadow fills, Thy love awaiteth thee With lonely heart." She wound a wreath of flowers So sweet, And, while the birds still sang their song Across the hills she passed along In the fair sunrise hours, Her love to meet. But when the sun, asleep At eve, Lay hid behind a purple cloud, Each little bird in leafy shroud Saw her return and weep, "And dost thou grieve?" "Ah no, I am not sad," She said, "He did not know me when I came, But I have crowned him all the same, And how can I be sad? My heart is glad." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A BALLAD OF VICTORY by DOLLIE CAROLINE MAITLAND RADFORD A BRIDE by DOLLIE CAROLINE MAITLAND RADFORD A CONCERT by DOLLIE CAROLINE MAITLAND RADFORD A DREAM OF 'DREAMS' by DOLLIE CAROLINE MAITLAND RADFORD A MODEL by DOLLIE CAROLINE MAITLAND RADFORD A MODERN POLYPHEME by DOLLIE CAROLINE MAITLAND RADFORD A NOVEMBER ROSE by DOLLIE CAROLINE MAITLAND RADFORD A NOVICE by DOLLIE CAROLINE MAITLAND RADFORD A PORTRAIT by DOLLIE CAROLINE MAITLAND RADFORD A PRAYER by DOLLIE CAROLINE MAITLAND RADFORD |
