George Eliot Sweet Poems
- 1. Sweet Springtime
It was in the prime
Of the sweet springtime
In the linnet's throat
Trembled the love note,
... - 2. Bright, O Bright Fedalma
Maiden crowned with glossy blackness,
Lithe as panther forest-roaming,
Long-armed Naiad when she dances
On a stream of ether floating,
... - 3. Spring Comes Hither
Spring comes hither
Buds the rose . . .
Roses wither
Sweet spring goes . . .
... - 4. Roses
You love the roses - so do I. I wish
The sky would rain down roses, as they rain
From off the shaken bush. Why will it not?
Then all the valley would be pink and white
... - 5. Sweet Endings Come And Go, Love
"La noche buena se viene,
La noche buena se va,
Y nosotros nos iremos
Y no volveremos mas."
... - 6. The Choir Invisible
Oh, may I join the choir invisible
Of those immortal dead who live again
In minds made better by their presence; live
In pulses stirred to generosity,
... - 7. Brother And Sister
I.
I cannot choose but think upon the time
When our two lives grew like two buds that kiss
...
