LEAVE not your bough, my slender song-bird sweet, But pipe me now your roundelay complete. Come, gentle breeze, and tarrying on your way, Whisper my trees what you have seen to-day. Stand, golden cloud, until my song be done, (For he's too proud) before the face of the sun. So one did sing, and the other breathed a story; Then both took wing, and the sun stepped forth in glory. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE FORSAKEN MERMAN by MATTHEW ARNOLD THE CONCLUSION OF A LETTER TO THE REV.
