REMOTE from scenes where the o'erwearied mind	A
Shrinks from the crimes and follies of mankind	A
From hostile menace and offensive boast	B
Peace and her train of home born pleasures lost	C
To fancy's reign who would not gladly turn	D
And lose awhile the miseries they mourn	E
In sweet oblivion Come then Fancy deign	F
Queen of ideal pleasure once again	G
To lend thy magic pencil and to bring	H
Such lovely forms as in life's happier spring	H
	-
On the green margin of my native Wey	I
Before mine infant eyes were wont to play	I
And with that pencil teach me to describe	J
The enchanting goddess of the flowery tribe	J
Whose first prerogative it is to chase	K
The clouds that hang on languid beauty's face	K
And while advancing suns and tepid showers	L
Lead on the laughing Spring's delicious hours	L
Bid the wan maid the hues of health assume	M
Charm with new grace and blush with fresher bloom	M
The vision comes While slowly melt away	I
Night's hovering shades before the eastern ray	I
Ere yet declines the morning's humid star	N
Fair Fancy brings her in her leafy car	N
	-
Flora descends to dress the expecting earth	O
Awake the germs and call the buds to birth	O
Bid each hybernacle its cell unfold	P
And open silken leaves and eyes of gold	P
Of forest foliage of the firmest shade	Q
Enwove by magic hands the car was made	Q
Oak and the ample Plane without entwined	A
And Beech and Ash the verdant concave lin'd	A
The Saxifrage that snowy flowers emboss	R
Supplied the seat and of the mural moss	R
The velvet footstool rose where lightly rest	S
Her slender feet in Cypripedium drest	S
The tufted rush that bears a silken crown	T
The floating feathers of the thistle's down	T
	-
In tender hues of rainbow lustre dyed	S
The airy texture of her robe supplied	S
And wild convolvuli yet half unblown	T
Form'd with their wreathing buds her simple zone	T
Some wandering tresses of her radiant hair	U
Luxuriant floated on the enamour'd air	U
The rest were by the Scandix' points confin'd	S
And graced a shining knot her head behind	S
While as a sceptre of supreme command	S
She waved the Anthoxanthum in her hand	S
Around the goddess as the flies that play	I
In countless myriads in the western ray	I
The sylphs innumerous throng whose magic powers	L
Guard the soft buds and nurse the infant flowers	L
	-
Round the sustaining stems weak tendrils bind	S
And save the pollen from dispersing wind	S
From suns too ardent shade their transient hues	V
And catch in odorous cups translucent dews	V
The ruder tasks of others are to chase	K
From vegetable life the insect race	K
Break the polluting thread the spider weaves	W
And brush the aphis from th' unfolding leaves	W
For conquest arm'd these pigmy warriors wield	S
The thorny lance and spread the hollow shield	S
Of lichen tough or bear as silver bright	S
Lunaria's pearly circlet firm and light	S
On the helm'd head the crimson foxglove glows	X
Or Scutellaria guards the martial brows	Y
	-
While the Leontodon its plumage rears	Z
And o'er the casque in waving grace appears	Z
With stern undaunted eye one warlike chief	A2
Grasps the tall club from Arum's blood dropt leaf	A2
This with the Burdock's hooks annoys his foes	X
The purple thorn that borrows from the Rose	X
In honeyed nectaries couched some drive away	I
The forked insidious earwig from his prey	I
Fearless the scaled libellula assail	B2
Dart their keen lances at the encroaching snail	B2
Arrest the winged ant on pinions light	S
And strike the headlong beetle in his flight	S
Nor less assiduous round their lovely queen	T
The lighter forms of female fays are seen	T
	-
Rich was the purple vest Floscella wore	C2
Spun of the tufts the Tradescantia bore	C2
The Cistus' flowers minute her temple graced	S
And threads of Yucca bound her slender waist	S
From the wild bee whose wond'rous labour weaves	W
In artful folds the rose's fragrant leaves	W
Was borrow'd fair Petalla's light cymar	C2
And the Hypericum with spangling star	C2
O'er her fair locks its bloom minute enwreath'd	S
Then while voluptuous odours round her breath'd	S
Came Nectarynia as the arrowy rays	D2
Of lambent fire round pictur'd seraphs blaze	D2
So did the Passiflora's radii shed	S
Cerulean glory o'er the sylphid's head	S
	-
While round her form the pliant tendrils twined	S
And clasp'd the scarf that floated on the wind	S
More grave the para nymph Calyxa drest	S
A brown transparent spatha formed her vest	S
The silver scales that bound her raven hair	C2
Xeranthemum's unfading calyx bear	C2
And a light sash of spiral Ophrys press'd	S
Her filmy tunic on her tender breast	S
But where shall images or words be found	S
To paint the fair ethereal forms that round	S
The queen of flowers attended and the while	E2
Bask'd in her eyes and wanton'd in her smile	E2
	-
Now towards the earth the gay procession bends	F2
Lo from the buoyant air the car descends	F2
Anticipating then the various year	C2
Flowers of all hues and every month appear	C2
From every swelling bulb its blossoms rise	G2
Here blow the Hyacinths of loveliest dyes	G2
Breathing of heaven and there her royal brows	Y
Begemmed with pearl the Crown imperial shews	Y
Peeps the blue Gentian from the soft'ning ground	S
Jonquils and Violets shed their odours round	S
The Honeysuckle rears his scallop'd horn	T
A snow of blossoms whiten on the thorn	T
Here like the fatal fruit to Paris given	T
That spread fell feuds throughout the fabled heaven	T
	-
The yellow Rose her golden globe displays	Y
There lovelier still among the spiny sprays	Y
Her blushing rivals glow with brighter dyes	Y
Than paints the summer sun on western skies	Y
And the scarce tinged and paler Rose unveil	B2
Their modest beauties to the sighing gale	B2
Thro' the deep woodland's wild uncultur'd scene	T
Spreads the soft influence of the floral queen	T
See a fair pyramid the Chesnut rear	C2
Its crimson tassels on the Larch appear	C2
The Fir dark native of the sullen North	H2
Owns her soft sway and slowly springing forth	H2
On the rough Oak are buds minute unfurl'd	S
Whose giant produce may command the world	S
Each forest thicket feels the balmy air	C2
And plants that love the shade are blowing there	C2
	-
Rude rocks with Filices and Bryums smile	E2
And wastes are gay with Thyme and Chamomile	E2
Ah yet prolong the dear delicious dream	I2
And trace her power along the mountain stream	I2
See from its rude and rocky source o'erhung	H
With female fern and glossy adder's tongue	H
Slowly it wells in pure and chrystal drops	Y
And steals soft gliding thro' the upland copse	Y
Then murmuring on along the willowy sides	Y
The reed bird whispers and the Halcyon hides	Y
While among sallows pale and birchen bowers	Y
Embarks in Fancy's eye the queen of flowers	Y
O'er her light skiff of woven bull rush made	S
The Water lily lends a polish'd shade	S
	-
While Galium there of pale and silver hue	J2
And Epilobiums on the banks that grew	J2
Form her soft couch and as the Sylphs divide	S
With pliant arms the still increasing tide	S
A thousand leaves along the stream unfold	S
Amid its waving swords in flaming gold	S
The Iris towers and here the Arrowhead	S
And water Crowfoot more profusely spread	S
Spangle the quiet current higher there	C2
As conscious of her claims in beauty rare	C2
Her rosy umbels rears the flow'ring Rush	K2
While with reflected charms the waters blush	K2
The naiad now the year's fair goddess leads	Y
Through richer pastures and more level meads	Y
Down to the sea where even the briny sands	Y
Their product offer to her glowing hands	Y
	-
For there by sea dews nurs'd and airs marine	T
The Chelidonium blows in glaucous green	T
Each refluent tide the thorn'd Eryngium laves	Y
And its pale leaves seem tinctured by the waves	Y
And half way up the cliff whose rugged brow	C2
Hangs o'er the ever toiling surge below	E2
Springs the light Tamarisk The summit bare	C2
Is tufted by the Statice and there	C2
Crush'd by the fisher as he stands to mark	H
Some distant signal or approaching bark	H
The Saltwort's starry stalks are thickly sown	T
Like humble worth unheeded	S
