I KNOW
Oh! I know why the alder treesLean over the reflecting stream;And I know what the wandering beesHeard in the woods of dream.I know how the uneasy tideAnswers the signal of the moon,And why the morning-glories hideTheir eyes in the forenoon.And I know all the wild delightThat quivers in the sea-bird’s wings,For in one little hour last nightLove told me all these things.Elsa Barker

Oh! I know why the alder trees
Lean over the reflecting stream;
And I know what the wandering bees
Heard in the woods of dream.
I know how the uneasy tideAnswers the signal of the moon,And why the morning-glories hideTheir eyes in the forenoon.
I know how the uneasy tide
Answers the signal of the moon,
And why the morning-glories hide
Their eyes in the forenoon.
And I know all the wild delightThat quivers in the sea-bird’s wings,For in one little hour last nightLove told me all these things.
And I know all the wild delight
That quivers in the sea-bird’s wings,
For in one little hour last night
Love told me all these things.
