SWINGING.(PANTOUM.[1])
Birds in the tree-tops were singing—
It was the middle of June;
Dolly sat dreamily swinging—
Coming was Somebody soon.
It was the middle of June;
Dolly sat dreamily swinging—
Coming was Somebody soon.
It was the middle of June,
All the green leaves were a-flicker,—
Coming was Somebody soon—
Surely he might have come quicker!
All the green leaves were a-flicker,—
Coming was Somebody soon—
Surely he might have come quicker!
All the green leaves were a-flicker,
Hid they a glimpse of the gate;
Surely he might have come quicker!
What could have made him so late?
Hid they a glimpse of the gate;
Surely he might have come quicker!
What could have made him so late?
