I left behind the ways of care,
The crowded hurrying hours,
I breathed again the woodland air,
I plucked the woodland flowers:
Bluebells as yet but half awake,
Primroses pale and cool,
Anemones like stars that shake
In a green twilight pool--
On these still lay the enchanted shade,
The magic April sun;
With my own child a child I strayed
And thought the years were one.
As through the copse she went and came
My senses lost their truth;
I called her by the dear dead name
That sweetened all my youth.
Ave, Soror
Henry John Newbolt, Sir
