Hartley Coleridge Poems
- 1. The Solitary-hearted
She was a queen of noble Nature's crowning,
A smile of hers was like an act of grace;
She had no winsome looks, no pretty frowning,
Like daily beauties of the vulgar race:
... - 2. Song
She is not fair to outward view
As many maidens be,
Her loveliness I never knew
Until she smiled on me;
... - 3. Friendship
When we were idlers with the loitering rills,
The need of human love we little noted:
Our love was nature; and the peace that floated
On the white mist, and dwelt upon the hills,
... - 4. Early Death
She pass'd away like morning dew
Before the sun was high;
So brief her time, she scarcely knew
The meaning of a sigh.
...
