The World Is Still a Song to Me


The world is still a song to me,
  1
  A little sadder grown,
Less of the lark in it, maybe,
  More of the undertone
Of wind and sea.

The surge of Time, the to and fro
  6
  Of restless, radiant things,
Flowing along as rivers flow,
  For ever taking wings,
Eager to go.

Yet no less sweet upon the tongue
  11
  The words of the old tune,
Though every May that comes along
  Is all too swiftly June—
Still, still a song!
