Poems (Young)/Green Branches
GREEN BRANCHES.
Green branches swaying, swaying
All the day long;
You hear what the wind is saying
And the throstles' song.
All the day long;
You hear what the wind is saying
And the throstles' song.
You see the swallows flying
So high, so high,
And the strange islands lying
In the evening sky.
So high, so high,
And the strange islands lying
In the evening sky.
You watch the star-flocks swaying
All through the night;
Green branches swaying, swaying
'Mid the moth-wings white.
All through the night;
Green branches swaying, swaying
'Mid the moth-wings white.
