Страница 12 - Why art thou silent ? Is thy love a plant Of such weak fibre that the treacherous air Of absence withers what was once so fair ? Is there no debt to pay, no boon to grant ? Yet have my thoughts for thee been vigilant, Bound to thy service with unceasing care — The mind's least generous wish a mendicant For nought but what thy happiness could spare.

A backward movement surely have we here,* From manhood — back to childhood ; for the age — 10 Back towards caverned life's first rude career.
Страница 188 - AMONG all lovely things my Love had been ; Had noted well the stars, all flowers that grew About her home ; but she had never seen A glow-worm, never one, and this I knew. While riding near her home one stormy night A single glow-worm did I chance to espy ; I gave a fervent welcome to the sight, And from my horse I leapt ; great joy had I.

Страница 214 - What want we? have we not perpetual streams, Warm woods, and sunny hills, and fresh green fields, And mountains not less green, and flocks and herds, And thickets full of songsters, and the voice Of lordly birds, an unexpected sound Heard now and then from morn to latest eve Admonishing the man who walks below Of solitude and silence in the sky?
