A poem by Franklin P. Adams

After Hearing "Robin Hood"

________________________________________________
Title:     After Hearing "Robin Hood"
Author: Franklin P. Adams [More Titles by Adams]

The songs of Sherwood Forest
Are lilac-sweet and clear;
The virile rhymes of merrier times
Sound fair upon mine ear.

Sweet is their sylvan cadence
And sweet their simple art.
The balladry of the greenwood tree
Stirs memories in my heart.

O braver days and elder
With mickle valour dight,
How ye bring back the time, alack!
When Harry Smith could write!





[The end]
