richard mitchley - james whitcomb riley - june at woodruff كلمات أغنية

out at woodruff place__afar
from the city’s glare and jar
with the leafy trees, instead
of the awnings, overhead;
with the shadows cool and sweet
for the fever of the street;
with the silence, like a prayer
breathing round us everywhere

gracious anchorage, at last
from the billows of the vast
tide of life that comes and goes
whence and where n0body knows__
moving, like a skeptic’s thought
out of nowhere into naught
touch and tame us with thy grace
placid calm of woodruff place!

weave a wreath of beechen leaves
for the brow that throbs and grieves
o’er the ledger, bl__dy_lined
‘neath the sun_struck window_blind!
send the breath of woodland bloom
through the sick man’s prison room
till his old farm_home shall swim
sweet in mind to hearten him!
out at woodruff place the muse
dips her sandal in the dews
sacredly as night and dawn
baptize lilied grove and lawn:
woody path, or paven way__
she doth haunt them night and day,__
sun or moonlight through the trees
to her eyes, are melodies

swinging lanterns, twinkling clear
through night_scenes, are songs to her__
tinted lilts and choiring hues
blent with children’s glad halloos;
then belated lays that fade
into midnight’s serenade__
vine_like words and zithern_strings
twined through ali her slumberings

blessed be each hearthstone set
neighboring the violet!
blessed every rooftree prayed
over by the beech’s shadel
blessed doorway, opening where
we may look on nature__there
hand to hand and face to face__
storied realm, or woodruff place
