INTRA MUROSA
-
THE sunbeams lost for half a yearB
Slant through my pane their morning raysA
For dry northwesters cold and clearB
The east blows in its thin blue hazeA
-
And first the snowdrop's bells are seenC
Then close against the sheltering wallD
The tulip's horn of dusky greenC
The peony's dark unfolding ballD
-
The golden chaliced crocus burnsA
The long narcissus blades appearB
The cone beaked hyacinth returnsA
To light her blue flamed chandelierB
-
The willow's whistling lashes wrungE
By the wild winds of gusty MarchF
With sallow leaflets lightly strungE
Are swaying by the tufted larchF
-
The elms have robed their slender sprayG
With full blown flower and embryo leafH
Wide o'er the clasping arch of dayG
Soars like a cloud their hoary chiefH
-
See the proud tulip's flaunting cupI
That flames in glory for an hourJ
Behold it withering then look upI
How meek the forest monarch's flowerJ
-
When wake the violets Winter diesA
When sprout the elm buds Spring is nearB
When lilacs blossom Summer criesA
'Bud little roses Spring is here '-
-
The windows blush with fresh bouquetsA
Cut with the May dew on their lipsA
The radish all its bloom displaysA
Pink as Aurora's finger tipsA
-
Nor less the flood of light that showersA
On beauty's changed corolla shadesA
The walks are gay as bridal bowersA
With rows of many petalled maidsA
-
The scarlet shell fish click and clashK
In the blue barrow where they slideL
The horseman proud of streak and splashK
Creeps homeward from his morning rideL
-
Here comes the dealer's awkward stringM
With neck in rope and tail in knotN
Rough colts with careless country swingM
In lazy walk or slouching trotN
-
-
-
Wild filly from the mountain sideL
Doomed to the close and chafing thillsA
Lend me thy long untiring strideL
To seek with thee thy western hillsA
-
I hear the whispering voice of SpringM
The thrush's trill the robin's cryO
Like some poor bird with prisoned wingM
That sits and sings but longs to flyO
-
Oh for one spot of living greedP
One little spot where leaves can growQ
To love unblamed to walk unseenC
To dream above to sleep belowQ

Oliver Wendell Holmes
