Page:Marlborough and other poems, Sorley, 1919.djvu/30

 The winds are washen. In the deep

Dew of the morn they've washed. The skies

Are changing dress. The clumsy sheep

Bound, and earth's many bosoms rise,

And earth's green tresses spring and leap

About her brow. The earth has eyes,

The earth has voice, the earth has breath,

As o'er the land and through the air,

With wingéd sandals, Life and Death

Speed hand in hand—that winsome pair!
