Richard Watson Gilder (Ричард Уотсон Гилдер)
The New Day. Part 3. 18. Song (The birds were singing, the skies were gay)
The birds were singing, the skies were gay;
     I looked from the window on meadow and wood,
          On green, green grass that the sun made white;
     Beyond the river the mountain stood—
          Blue was the mountain, the river was bright;
     I looked on the land and it was not good,
For my own dear Love she had flown away.
