L'ENVOI.
THE POET AND HIS SONGS.
As the birds come in the Spring,
We know not from where;
As the stars come at evening
From depths of the air;
We know not from where;
As the stars come at evening
From depths of the air;
As the rain comes from the cloud,
And the brook from the ground;
As suddenly, low or loud,
Out of silence a sound;
And the brook from the ground;
As suddenly, low or loud,
Out of silence a sound;
