A Blossoming Bough

A Blossoming Bough

A blossoming bough against the sky,And all my blood is aleap with life,As though glad violins went byIn wild delicious strife!And the Suisun Hills again are green!And I am a boy in the canyons deep,Where the gray sycamores flicker and lean,And waters plunge and sleep.A light, quick wind blows into my heart,Faint with the breath of apple trees;And my lyric lark is back with a start—And orchards like white seas!

A blossoming bough against the sky,And all my blood is aleap with life,As though glad violins went byIn wild delicious strife!And the Suisun Hills again are green!And I am a boy in the canyons deep,Where the gray sycamores flicker and lean,And waters plunge and sleep.A light, quick wind blows into my heart,Faint with the breath of apple trees;And my lyric lark is back with a start—And orchards like white seas!

A blossoming bough against the sky,And all my blood is aleap with life,As though glad violins went byIn wild delicious strife!

A blossoming bough against the sky,

And all my blood is aleap with life,

As though glad violins went by

In wild delicious strife!

And the Suisun Hills again are green!And I am a boy in the canyons deep,Where the gray sycamores flicker and lean,And waters plunge and sleep.

And the Suisun Hills again are green!

And I am a boy in the canyons deep,

Where the gray sycamores flicker and lean,

And waters plunge and sleep.

A light, quick wind blows into my heart,Faint with the breath of apple trees;And my lyric lark is back with a start—And orchards like white seas!

A light, quick wind blows into my heart,

Faint with the breath of apple trees;

And my lyric lark is back with a start—

And orchards like white seas!
