Voice of a Boy
poem
VOICE OF A BOY
There is the swing of springtime in the trees,
A deep reserve of darkness round the hill;
The lilting echo of a breaking voice
That laughs beneath a redwood, speaks of hope
To all the tired-out world. O changing voice,
Sweet disharmonic tune of unset strings,
Sing out your dreams, — in broken melody, —
The song of Galahad whose heart is pure,
Sing gallant life, and conquests yet to be,
And youth encouraging the feet of age
To follow brighter banners, passing by.
