By Mead And Marsh And Sandhill Clad With Bent

Soothed by the wistful musings of the wind
That in scarce listening ears are mildly dinned,
On plods the traveller till the day be spent,

Where in bright days, long past, we played together?
Do you remember all the old home faces
That gathered round the hearth in wintry weather?

The Old Gentleman With The Amber Snuff-box

To understand, when I am gone,' he muttered.

If some day this body of mine were burned
(It found no favour alas! with you)
And the ashes scattered abroad, unurned,
Would Love die also, would Thought die too?

O'erseeing all that man but undersees;
To loiter down lone alleys of delight,
And hear the beating of the hearts of trees,

And youth, that's now so bravely spending,
Will beg a penny by and by.

Over the welkin travels the cloud;
Touch'd by the zephyr, dances the harebell;
Cuckoo sits somewhere, singing so loud;

A Later Alexandrian
An inspiration caught from dubious hues
Filled him, and mystic wrynesses he chased;
For they lead farther than the single-faced,
Wave subtler promise when desire pursues.

Through the frore woods, and from its frost-bound bed
Woke the arbutus with her silver horn;

O West, how fragrant breathes thy gentle air,
Spikenard and aloes on thy pinions glide.
Thou blow'st from spicy chambers, not from there
Where angry winds and tempests fierce abide.

The soldiers, mounting on their works,
With mutual curious glance have run

While yet the blessed daylight made itself
Ruddy thro' both the roofs of sight, and woke
These eyes, now dull, but then so keen to seek

But many and many a day has gone since I was dear to thee!
I know my passion fades away, and therefore oft regret
That some who love indeed can part and in the years forget.
