by Francis St. Vincent Morris (1896 - 1917)
Procrastination
Language: English
A sweet wind passed in the forest And moaned in the shadows above, And he heard it sigh through the branches, And it seemed as the voice of Love. And he went his way for a season, And came when he deemed it good: But the trees were felled-and the voices Had passed from the whispering Wood.
