Lure of the Woods
clh! Let me run through the tangled ways Of the wind-swept trees in the forest maze al thing of the wind and sunshine I! A song in my throat, and a laugh that wakes The dreaming depths of the leafy brakes, and an echo throws to the sky. . If I faintly piped upon a reed, ‘ ould you hear the music and, taking heed, Folléw the glint of my dancing feet? I would lead you around the. shallow mere, Slip into the sleeping waters there, You could never follow so fleet, Tf you saw through a shiinmering beam The lure of a slim white arm, or a gleam Of flying hair. Past the forest pond You-would stumble over the creepers low Till you caught iny hand-But no! ah no! You would hold fast-a willow wand!
