In Norley Wood
Language: English
In Norley Wood the thickets ring With gladness to the sky, In Norley Wood I wake and sing For very joy, I wonder why! Is it your thought at break of day That makes the dawning all divine – Your kiss from far away That in the morning meets with mine? In Norley Wood I wake and sing With birds that carol clear, For all the joy the day shall bring, The happy thought that you are near.
