COTTAGE DAYS

Road-Songs
I
Worry me, Wind, and vex me, Rain,
And use me as you will;
But, should the Sun come out again,
He’ll find me singing still!
2
To walk bare-headed, making songs
And shouting them at the wind,
May bring a headache—but it leaves
A healthy heart behind!
3
Why should these tiny breaths of air
Sigh, as they push along?
Can it be, every one of them
Is burden’d with a song?
