James Whitcomb Riley - A Song Of SingingJames Whitcomb Riley - A Song Of Singing
Work rating: Low


Sing! gangling lad, along the brink     Of wild brook-ways of shoal and deep,   Where killdees dip, and cattle drink,     And glinting little minnows leap!   Sing! slimpsy lass who trips above     And sets the foot-log quivering!   Sing! bittern, bumble-bee, and dove--     Sing! Sing! Sing!   Sing as you will, O singers all     Who sing because you _want_ to sing!   Sing! peacock on the orchard wall,     Or tree-toad by the trickling spring!   Sing! every bird on every bough--     Sing! every living, loving thing--   Sing any song, and anyhow,     But Sing! Sing! Sing!
