FROM
THE DOOR OF HEAVEN
|
|
Now
the tall tulip trees have lifted up
Their green-gold chalices against the sun,
And the white locusts from the door of Heaven
Spill their honied fragrance on the air.
Over the open fields the bobolinks
|
5 |
Toss
the gay music of their carillons
Down to the pasture foot where bob-white calls,
And through the meadow blows the purple flag.
By many a wild trail in the wooded hills,
And many a path along the foaming shore,
|
10 |
With
unforgotten rapture of old years
And airs that lift the heart on ventures new,
June is come back to her New England home
To make of earth a paradise once more.
