Go, little song,
    Your message bringing
To hearts that long
    Have known no singing;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To hearts that hold
    No glad tomorrows;
To hearts grown old
    With cares and sorrows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sing but a lay
    Of woodside rambles;
Of autumn day
    And berry brambles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of gain and pelf
    Make men forgetful;
Of thought of self
    And worries fretful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take back the heart
    To babbling fountains\u2014
From street and mart
    To storied mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of rainbow\u2019s end
    And golden treasure
A message send,
    Perchance of pleasure;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of country sights
    And village steeples;
Of fairy sprites
    And elfin peoples;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of woodland rill
    And dancing shadows;
Of daffodil
    And sun-shot meadows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make young again
    The heart that hardens;
Sing of the rain
    And old-time gardens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go, little song,
    For joy intended;
Return ere long,
    Your mission ended.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
