The Load Of Pearls
| The Loneliest Mountain written by William Henry Davies |
| From "The Loneliest Mountain", 1939 | Link to further information |
Will no one stop that Blackbird now,
Before he sings himself to death?
Tell him there is no life on earth
Enjoys an everlasting breath.
He sings because a tree in May
Is flower all over, low and high:
A cherry tree, whose load of pearls
Brings diamonds into every eye!
