Very True, The Linnets Sing

by (1775–1864)

Listen in the reader

Very true, the linnets sing Sweetest in the leaves of spring: You have found in all these leaves That which changes and deceives, And, to pine by sun or star, Left them, false ones as they are. But there be who walk beside Autumn's, till they all have died, And who lend a patient ear To low notes from branches sere.
