Слушать(AI)The Forest Path
Oh, the charm of idle dreaming Where the dappled shadows dance,
All the leafy aisles are teeming With the lure of old romance!
Down into the forest dipping, Deep and deeper as we go,
One might fancy dryads slipping Where the white-stemmed birches grow.
Lurking gnome and freakish fairy In the fern may peep and hide . . .
Sure their whispers low and airy Ring us in on every side!
Saw you where the pines are rocking Nymph's white shoulder as she ran?
Lo, that music faint and mocking, Is it not a pipe of Pan?
Hear you that elusive laughter Of the hidden waterfall?
Nay, a satyr speeding after Ivy-crowned bacchanal.
Far and farther as we wander Sweeter shall our roaming be,
Come, for dim and winsome yonder Lies the path to Arcady!

Rain along Shore
Wan white mists upon the sea, East wind harping mournfully All the sunken reefs along, Wail and heart-break in its song, But adown the placid bay Fisher-folk keep holiday All the deeps beyond the bar Call and murmur from afar, 'Plaining of a ...
When the Fishing Boats Go Out
When the lucent skies of morning flush with dawning rose once more, And waves of golden glory break adown the sunrise shore, And o'er the arch of heaven pied films of vapor float There's joyance and there's freedom when the fishing ...
