Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Joy O´ Life: And Other Poems The Joy O´ Life Oh, the Joy o´ Life goes singing through the highway, Oh, the Joy o´ Life goes swinging through the green, And the form of her is slight as a crescent moon at night And her face is some strange flower none hath seen. She beckoned me and what could I but follow? (Oh, I have seen the glamour of her eyes!) Through the winding o´ the ways, through the hundred nights and days Must I follow where she lures me woman-wise. My plough - I left it idle in the furrow - My harvest lies for other eyes to scan, For it´s fare ye well to loam, to hearthstone and to home When the Joy o´ Life is calling to a man. Oh, the Joy o´ Life she calls me from the valley, Oh, the Joy o´ Life, she hails me from the height, And her voice is like the thrill of the thrush when noon is still And her laughter is the lilting of delight. I follow through the sunshine and the moonshine - (Oh, I have seen the waving of her hand!) In the paths that know the fleet, flying touches of her feet At the music of her mocking of command. My friend - I left him fasting at my threshold - My sweetheart is another man´s to wife, For it´s fare ye well my own, and it´s laugh and turn alone When a man has heard the voice of Joy o´ Life.
