When Birds Were Songless Poem by William Watson

When Birds Were Songless

Rating: ★3.0


When birds were songless on the bough
I heard thee sing.
The world was full of winter, thou
Wert full of spring.

To-day the world's heart feels anew
The vernal thrill,
And thine beneath the rueful yew
Is wintry chill.
