Verse and Reverse (1921)/Music

There is a little tune
Ever humming in my head:
As silver as the moon,
As slender as a thread,
As binding as a spell,
As clear as running rill,
As distant as a bell
Upon a windy hill,
As eerie as the loon
Who sends his mystic cry
Across the still lagoon
Whereon black shadows lie.
When first he smiled at me
It rose up from my heart,
So true and good is he
It will not soon depart;
And now from dawn till noon,
From noon till night is sped,
There is a little tune
Ever humming in my head.
