Going Downhill ca
가
With lifted feet, hands still,
I am poised, and down the hill
Dart, with heedfulmind;
The air goes by in a wind.
Swifter and yet more swift,
Till the heart with a mighty lift
Makes the lungs laugh, the throat cry-
"O bird, see; see, bird, I fly.
"Is this, is this your joy?
O bird, then I, though a boy,
For a golden moment share
Your feathery life in air!"
Henry Charles Beeching
still: not moving swifter: faster
poised: balanced with a mighty lift:
dart: to move quickly full of excitement
heedful: careful feathery life: the life
of a feathered bird
