Tips

Missing Words

The hills far-off were blue, blue,
 The hills hand were brown;
And all the herd-bells called to
 As I came by the down.

The briars to roses—roses,
 Ever we stayed to pull
A little rose, and a red little rose,
 And lock of silver wool.

Nobody heeded,—none, none;
  when True Love came by,
They thought him nought the shepherd-boy.
 Nobody knew but I!

The trees feathered like birds, birds;
 Birds were in every tree.
Yet nobody heeded, nobody heard,
 Nobody knew, save we.

And he is fairer than all,—all.
 How a heart go wrong?
For his eyes I knew, his knew mine,
 Like an old, old song.
