Alfred Noyes - The Old Fool In The WoodAlfred Noyes - The Old Fool In The Wood
Work rating: Low


"If I could whisper you all I know,"   Said the Old Fool in the Wood, "You`d never say that green leaves grow.   You`d say, `Ah, what a happy mood The Master must be in today,   To think such thoughts,` That`s what you`d say." "If I could whisper you all I`ve heard,"   Said the Old Fool in the fern, "You`d never say the song of a bird.   You`d say, `I`ll listen, and p`raps I`ll learn One word of His joy as He passed this way,   One syllable more,` That`s what you`d say." "If I could tell you all the rest,"   Said the Old Fool under the skies, "You`d hug your griefs against your breast   And whisper with love-lit eyes, `I am one with the sorrow that made the may,   And the pulse of His heart,` That`s what you`d say."
