SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 8 by BLISS CARMAN

First Line: UNDER THE GREENING WILLOW
Last Line: THAT SHALL BE BY AND BY.
Subject(s): TIME; HOPE;
Under the greening willow
Wanders a golden cry;
Oriole April up in the world
With morning day goes by.
Out of the virgin quiet
Like an awakening sigh,
With the wild, wild heart forever
A journeyer am I.
We are the wind's own brothers,
Sorrow and joy and I;
But thou art the hope of morrows
That shall be by and by.
