A lass from the woods / With a leaf in her hair! / And the rain of the night / And the wind of the morn, / They both quivered right; / For my spirit forlorn / In a garment of white / And a laugh newly born / Sprang in maddest of moods / Like a blossom in air / To the kiss of the sun / And the curl of the breeze, / Caught the cobwebs begun / In the hush of the trees / All my beatings were one / With the swirl of the seas. / Dead the creature that broods / In a tangle of care; / There's a lass from the woods / With a leaf in her hair.
