Woolgathering written by Wilfrid Wilson Gibson

       Youth that goes woolgathering,
       Mooning and stargazing,
       Always finding everything
       Full of fresh amazing,
       Best will meet the moment's need
       When the dream brings forth the deed.

       He who keeps through all his days
       Open eyes of wonder
       Is the lord of sky ways,
       And the earth thereunder:
       For the heart to do and sing
       Comes of youth's woolgathering.
