DARTSIDE. 1849.

I CANNOT tell what you say, green leaves,
 I cannot tell what you say:
But I know that there is a spirit in you,
 And a word in you this day.

I cannot tell what you say, rosy rocks,
 I cannot tell what you say:
But I know that there is a spirit in you,
 And a word in you this day.

I cannot tell what you say, brown streams,
 I cannot tell what you say:
But I know that in you too a spirit doth live,
 And a word doth speak this day.
