COME AWAY!*[1]
Come away!—the child, where flowers are springing
Round its footsteps on the mountain slope,
Hears a glad voice from the upland singing,
Like the sky-lark's with its tone of hope:
Come away!
Bounding on, with sunny lands before him,
All the wealth of glowing life outspread,
Ere the shadow of a cloud comes o'er him,
By that strain the youth in joy is led:
Come away!
