250 I shall keep singing! Birds will pass me On their way to Yellower Climes— Each—with a Robin’s expectation—
702 A first Mute Coming— In the Stranger’s House— A first fair Going— When the Bells rejoice—
981 As Sleigh Bells seem in summer Or Bees, at Christmas show— So fairy—so fictitious The individuals do

The words the happy say Are paltry melody But those the silent feel Are beautiful—
