146 THE SHOES OF HAPPINESS You come with all the buds and birds astart You with the heart of April in your heart. So take our banded welcome as we drink A health to you on April s flowering brink To you come hither from that elder clime, Where April has been wreathed in poets rhyme, Been touched with love and tears By English minstrels down a thousand years.
And when your Sherwood Forest calls you home Over the furrows of the ocean foam, Take message from this people to your own To England, wit...h her scented hawthorns blown, And all her skylarks in a rapture-pain Sprinkling the happy fields with lyric rain. Tell her that lordlier than her cliffs and towers, Tell her that mightier than her pomps and powers, 147 THE SHOES OF HAPPINESS We see her line of poets stretching back Ten centuries, a bright, immortal track. Tell her that while she built the things that seem, They built her glory out of deathless dream.
Ah, more is that wild beauty left by Keats Than all the blazon of her kingly seats; More is that wonder from the hand of Blake Than all her guns that make the nations quake; More is her Shelley, with his starry dare, Than all her flags ringed round with battle blare; More her blind Milton voyaging the Vast Than all her squadrons shearing down the blast; And more is Shakspere, lord of lyric seers, Than all her conquests of a thousand years.
