William Ernest Henley

A world of leafage murmurous and a-twinkle; The green, delicious plenitude of June; Love and laughter and song The blue day long

Going to the same glad, golden tune — The same glad tune! Clouds on the dim, delighting skies a-sprinkle; Poplars black in the wake of a setting moon;

Love and languor and sleep And the star-sown deep Going to the same good, golden tune — The same good tune!
