Wednesday Poetry Corner


'Over The Land Is April'



Over the land is April,
Over my heart a rose;
Over the high, brown mountain
The sound of singing goes.
Say, love, do you hear me,
Hear my sonnets ring?
Over the high, brown mountain,
Love, do you hear me sing?

By highway, love, and byway
The snows succeed the rose.
Over the high, brown mountain
The wind of winter blows.
Say, love, do you hear me,
Hear my sonnets ring?
Over the high, brown mountain
I sound the song of spring,
I throw the flowers of spring.
Do you hear the song of spring?
Hear you the songs of spring?

Robert Louis Stevenson


Hoping your week is going as well as mine has.  Very busy here in preparation for vacation, but also a sense of excitement. Diligently working to tie up all loose ends before Friday. Looking forward to the upcoming week off.
