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!
