Página 17 - FAIR Daffodils, we weep to see You haste away so soon : As yet the early-rising Sun Has not attained his noon. Stay, stay, Until the hasting day Has run But to the even-song ; And, having prayed together, we Will go with you along.
Página 46 - By the household tree through which thine eye First looked in love to the summer sky, By the dewy gleam, by the very breath Of the primrose-tufts in the grass beneath, Upon thy heart there is laid a spell, Holy and precious — oh, guard it well ! By the sleepy ripple of the stream, Which...
Página 60 - O'er all the pools in our forest dells ; Stilly and lightly their vases rest On the quivering sleep of the water's breast, Catching the sunshine through leaves that throw To their scented bosoms an emerald glow ; And a star from the depth of each pearly cup, A golden star unto heaven looks up, As if seeking its kindred...

Página 29 - It changes not, as seasons flow In changeful, silent course along ; Spring finds it verdant, leaves it so ; It outlives Summer's song ; Autumn no wan, or russet stain Upon its fadeless glory flings : And Winter o'er it sweeps in vain, With tempest on his wings.
Página 58 - The violet in her greenwood bower, Where birchen boughs with hazels mingle, May boast itself the fairest flower In glen, or copse, or forest dingle. Though fair her gems of azure hue, Beneath the dewdrop's weight reclining. I've seen an eye of lovelier blue, More sweet through watery lustre shining. The summer sun that dew shall dry, Ere yet the day be past its morrow ; Nor longer in...
