Sound and Grace
written by William Henry Davies
From "Songs of Joy", 1911 Link to further information




My love laughs sweeter than a brook
That has been drinking rain all day;
She like a blackbird sings, when he
Has not one feather dry, in May.

When I can hear her laugh like that,
My hand starts forth to clutch her gown;
Lord, if she dances while she laughs,
My mind makes plans to pull her down.
