George Darley Spirit Poems
- 1. The Joy Of Childhood
Down the dimpled green-sward dancing
Bursts a flaxen-headed bevy,
Bud-lipt boys and girls advancing
Love's irregular little levy.
... - 2. It Is Not Beauty I Demand
It is not Beauty I demand,
A crystal brow, the moon's despair,
Nor the snow's daughter, a white hand,
Nor mermaid's yellow pride of hair.
... - 3. The Gambols Of Children
DOWN the dimpled greensward dancing,
Bursts a flaxen-headed bevy,-
Bud-lipt boys and girls advancing,
Love's irregular little levy.
... - 4. The Fallen Star
A star is gone! a star is gone!
There is a blank in Heaven;
One of the cherub choir has done
His airy course this even.
