richard mitchley - in springtime - rudyard kipling lyrics

my garden blazes brightly with the rose+bush and the peach
and the koil sings above it, in the siris by the well
from the creeper+covered trellis comes the squirrel’s chattering speech
and the blue jay screams and flutters where the cheery sat+bhai dwell
but the rose has lost its fragrance, and the koil’s note is strange;
i am sick of endless sunshine, sick of blossom+burdened bough
give me back the lеafless woodlands where thе winds of springtime range —
give me back one day in england, for it’s spring in england now!

through the pines the gusts are booming, o’er the brown fields blowing chill
from the furrow of the ploughshare streams the fragrance of the loam
and the hawk nests on the cliffside and the jackdaw in the hill
and my heart is back in england ‘mid the sights and sounds of home
but the garland of the sacrifice this wealth of rose and peach is
ah! koil, little koil, singing on the siris bough
in my ears the knell of exile your ceaseless bell like speech is —
can you tell me aught of england or of spring in england now?
