The Bobolink

Title:     The Bobolink
Author: George Parsons Lathrop [More Titles by Lathrop]

How sweetly sang the bobolink,
When thou, my love, wast nigh!
His liquid music from the brink
Of some cloud-fountain seemed to sink,
Far in the blue-domed sky.

How sadly sings the bobolink!
No more my love is nigh:
Yet rise, my spirit, rise, and drink
Once more from that cloud-fountain's brink,--
Once more before I die!

[The end]
George Parsons Lathrop's poem: Bobolink
