Songs of Peace/Spring and Autumn

Spring and Autumn by Francis Ledwidge

Appears in Songs of Peace

Green ripples singing down the corn,
With blossoms dumb the path I tread,
And in the music of the morn
One with wild roses on her head.

Now the green ripples turn to gold
And all the paths are loud with rain,
I with desire am growing old
And full of winter pain.
