<h2> WHEN THE CUCKOO SINGS </h2>
<p>In summer, when the Cuckoo sings,<br/>
And clouds like greater moons can shine;<br/>
When every leafy tree doth hold<br/>
A loving heart that beats with mine:<br/>
Now, when the Brook has cresses green,<br/>
As well as stones, to check his pace;<br/>
And, if the Owl appears, he's forced<br/>
By small birds to some hiding-place:<br/>
Then, like red Robin in the spring,<br/>
I shun those haunts where men are found;<br/>
My house holds little joy until<br/>
Leaves fall and birds can make no sound;<br/>
Let none invade that wilderness<br/>
Into whose dark green depths I go—<br/>
Save some fine lady, all in white,<br/>
Comes like a pillar of pure snow.<br/></p>
