When nights o’errun in music, I know the days are long. When suns afoot are marching, And rains are quick and strong, And streams speak in a whisper, I know the days are long. When hills are clad in velvet, And winds can do no wrong, And woods are deep and dusky, I know the days are long. {23} {23} Out of Doors IN the urgent solitudes I Lies the spur to larger moods; In the friendship of the trees Dwell all sweet serenities. {24} {24}
