Answer to a Child's Question by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Answer to a Child's Question by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Do you ask what the birds say? The sparrow, the dove, The linner and thrush say, "I love and I love!" In the winter they're silent - the wind is so strong; What is says, I don't know, but it sings a loud song. But green leaves, and blossoms, and sunny warm weather, And singing, and loving - all come back together. But the lark is so brimful of gladness and love, The green fields below him, the blue sky above, That he sings, and he sings; and for ever sings he- "I love my Love, and my Love loves me!"
