Won't you help support DayPoems? Echoes of a Highland SongBy William Brendan McPhillips21st CenturyThese trees, in front of me, grew on the day When Wordsworth stopped to listen, on his way Across the Highlands, to a woman sing In melancholy solitude and bring The circle of enchantment to a place Where, on this wet and windy hill, I trace The trail of all unconscious gifts we give To one another in the way we live. We call such moments lucky and they are, Like being there to know a falling star, Or here, to hear the echoes of a voice Once heard in Scotland and in it rejoice That back in England, Wordsworth, in his pen Brought it to me in Ireland and again Across the Hudson to this windy hill Where, on this night, I hear her singing still.
