Lennox Amott Head Poems
- 1. Midsummer Idylls. Canto Ii
I.
Good day, and how d'ye do my friends and neighbours?
I must have dozed upon my easy chair;
... - 2. Midsummer Idylls. Canto Iii.
I.
I take my goosequill for some recreation,
I'll have a pleasurable time to-night,
... - 3. Bright Scenes Must All Depart.
Bright scenes must all depart as they've departed,
Unshadowed years will fly as they have flown,
And fairer visions leave us silent-hearted,
Keen, lashing blasts must blow as they have blown.
... - 4. Good Night.
O slumber on, untaught to feel
The weight of care and sorrow's blight.
Here have I often loved to steal
And o'er thee breathe a soft "good night."
... - 5. The Summer Shower.
The eve is still and silent and above the tinted plain
The passing clouds are driving gentle showers of summer rain,
And the scent of hay-strewn meadows and the fresh-besprinkled ground
Is mingling with the perfume of the flowers that bloom around.
