richard mitchley - john greenleaf whittier - a day lyrics
talk not of sad november, when a day
of warm, glad sunshine fills the sky of noon
and a wind, borrowed from some morn of june
stirs the brown grasses and the leafless spray
on the unfrosted pool the pillared pines
lay their long shafts of shadow: the small rill
singing a pleasant song of summer still
a line of silver, down the hill+slope shines
hushed the bird+voices and the hum of bees
in the thin grass the crickets pipe no more;
but still the squirrel h++rds his winter store
and drops his nut+sh+lls from the sh+g+bark trees
softly the dark green hemlocks whisper: high
above, the spires of yellowing larches show
where the woodp+ck+r and home+loving crow
and jay and nut+hatch winter’s threat defy
o gracious beauty, ever new and old!
o sights and sounds of nature, doubly dear
when the low sunshine warns the closing year
of snow+blown fields and waves of arctic cold!
close to my heart i fold each lovely thing
the sweet day yields; and, not disconsolate
with the calm patience of the woods i wait
for leaf and blossom when god gives us spring!
