@LilMissAnonyMOUSE The video plays on my screen.
Yes, I heard this poem many years ago. Thank you for posting it.
@ProfessorPlum77 It must be some regional restriction. I'm in Europe, and sometimes, though rarely, it happens with some YouTube videos, especially VEVO videos.

Yes, ''Trees'' was written in 1913 and is still popular today. You're welcome🙂

The Song of Wandering Aengus
BY WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS

I went out to the hazel wood,
Because a fire was in my head,
And cut and peeled a hazel wand,
And hooked a berry to a thread;
And when white moths were on the wing,
And moth-like stars were flickering out,
I dropped the berry in a stream
And caught a little silver trout.

When I had laid it on the floor
I went to blow the fire a-flame,
But something rustled on the floor,
And someone called me by my name:
It had become a glimmering girl
With apple blossom in her hair
Who called me by my name and ran
And faded through the brightening air.

Though I am old with wandering
Through hollow lands and hilly lands,
I will find out where she has gone,
And kiss her lips and take her hands;
And walk among long dappled grass,
And pluck till time and times are done,
The silver apples of the moon,
The golden apples of the sun.

@yeronlyman I really enjoyed reading this a few times over. Bittersweet, but beautiful.

Acquainted with the Night

By Robert Frost

I have been one acquainted with the night.
I have walked out in rain—and back in rain.
I have outwalked the furthest city light.

I have looked down the saddest city lane.
I have passed by the watchman on his beat
And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.

I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet
When far away an interrupted cry
Came over houses from another street,

But not to call me back or say good-bye;
And further still at an unearthly height,
One luminary clock against the sky

Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right.
I have been one acquainted with the night.

Par un lapsus elle a changé. Le "vous" stérile en "toi"cordial. Et dans mon âme, éprise d'elle, naissent les rêves de bonheur. Songeur, je suis là, devant elle, sans pouvoir la quitter des yeux, disant : "que vous êtes gentille !" Tout en pensant: "comme je t'aime!" A. POUCHKINE
