Augusta Davies Webster - While the woods were green
Work rating: Low

WHILE the woods were green,
"Oh I" she sang, "my heart is new,
    Leaping, longing, in my breast:
Let him come that loves me true,
    Let him come that I love best,
I will tell him what I mean,
Now the wood-birds tell it too,
    Now the woods are green."

    While the woods were bare,
"Oh I" she sighed, "my heart is grey,
    Shrinking, shivering, in my breast:
Love me, hate me, as they may,
    None of them do I love best:
Let me be alone with care,
Now the wood-birds hide away,
    Now the woods are bare."
