richard mitchley - home thoughts from abroad - robert browning lyrics

oh, to be in england
now that april’s there
and whoever wakes in england
sees, some morning, unaware
that the lowest boughs and the brushwood sheaf
round the elm+tree bole are in tiny leaf
while the chaffinch sings on the orchard bough
in england—now!

and after april, when may follows
and the whitethroat builds, and all the swallows!
hark, where my blossomed pear+tree in the hedge
leans to the field and scatters on the clover
blossoms and dewdrops—at the bent spray’s edgе—
that’s the wise thrush; he sings еach song twice over
lest you should think he never could recapture
the first fine careless rapture!
and though the fields look rough with h++ry dew
all will be gay when noontide wakes anew
the b+ttercups, the little children’s dower
—far brighter than this gaudy melon+flower!
