Part 3 — OVERFLOW
Reading edition
Hush! With sudden gush As from a fountain, sings in yonder bush The Hermit Thrush.
Hark! Did ever Lark With swifter scintillations fling the spark That fires the dark?
Again, Like April rain Of mist and sunshine mingled, moves the strain O'er hill and plain.
Strong As love, O Song, In flame or torrent sweep through Life along, O'er grief and wrong.
John Banister Tabb [1845-1909]
