Far in the wood
C. Ives
Far in the wood where pine trees grow,
The noonday sun is beating,
When lo, a little wind doth blow
With soft caresses on my brow
Like thy kiss so cool and fleeting.
In the heart of the wood where pine trees gow,
I dream of thee, I dream of thee.
Far in the wood the pine trees grow,
When lo, a little breeze doth blow,
I croon my lay to the wand'ring breeze
That steals the scent from balsam trees
To waft thee with my greeting.
