Ambition, and Other Poems/My Life's Example

​
My Life's Example
Stand with eyes fixed, the Cuckoo calls— Let all the world go blind!Should any search be made at all, Let it be for the Wind!
At Birdland Corner, where I live, And daffodils appear—'The hero of my life and dreams Cries 'Cuckoo' every year.
He is my life's example, and His spirit fills my place;That I, like him, would be a voice, And never show my face.
And let my notes be cries of joy, Too simple to despise;That children from their cradles love, And hearts grown old and wise.


THE END.
