..."I Could Not Live"...
By
OH MACK
T could not live without my meadow grass Before my eyes; To see it ripple with the wind’s soft breath"Love me," it’ cries; And I would hold it tightly to my heart, Lest soon it dies. I could not live without my clean fresh air About my face; The fever of the city runs too high, ’Tis not uvy place. I crave the cleansing air, its silk-cool touch, Its soft embrace. I could not live without the crooning trees To lull my rest, They nod and whisper gentle tales to me, And I am blest With dreams of gracious green, and soughing waves, I mount the crest. I could not live without my merry birds To chant for me; My raptured ears are drunk with singing gold, _ My heart lilts free- . And I would scale the mountain peaks and there A warbler be.
