Стр. 104 - Pallas wear her hair like that ? Was Wisdom's mouth so shaped for kisses ? The Nightingale should be her bird, And not the Owl, big-eyed and solemn ; How very fresh she looks, and yet She's older far than Trajan's Column ! 3 ON AN INTAGLIO HEAD OF MINERVA.
Стр. 81 - LOVE'S CALENDAR THE Summer comes and the Summer goes ; Wild-flowers are fringing the dusty lanes, The swallows go darting through fragrant rains, Then, all of a sudden — it snows. Dear Heart, our lives so happily flow, So lightly we heed the flying hours, We only know Winter is gone — by the flowers, We only know Winter is come — by the snow.
Стр. 74 - She smiles on her rose-white lover, She reaches out her hand And helps him in at the window — I see it where I stand ! To her scarlet lip she holds him, And kisses him many a time — Ah me ! it was he that won her Because he dared to climb ! —Nocturne : TB Aldrich.
Стр. 143 - In diamond air, and under hanging bowers The Arno glides, this faded violet grew On Landor's grave ; from Landor's heart it drew Its magic azure in the long spring hours. Within the shadow of the Pyramid Of Caius Cestius was the daisy found, White as the soul of Keats in Paradise. The Pansy — there were hundreds of them, hid In the thick grass that folded Shelley's mound, Guarding his ashes with most lovely eyes.
Стр. 79 - I WONDER what day of the week — I wonder what month of the year — Will it be midnight, or morning, And who will bend over my bier...
Стр. 21 - So let our heroes rest Upon your sunny breast : Keep them, O South, our tender hearts and true, Keep them, O South, and learn to hold them dear From year to year ! Never forget, Dying for us, they died for you. This hallowed dust should knit us closer yet.
Стр. 70 - These winter nights, against my window-pane Nature with busy pencil draws designs Of ferns and blossoms and fine spray of pines, Oak-leaf and acorn and fantastic vines, , Which she will shape, when summer comes again — Quaint arabesques in argent, flat and cold, Like curious Chinese etchings.
Стр. 99 - THE FLIGHT OF THE GODDESS A MAN should live in a garret aloof, And have few friends, and go poorly clad, With an old hat stopping the chink in the roof, To keep the Goddess constant and glad. Of old, when I walked on a rugged way, And gave much work for but little bread, The Goddess dwelt with me night and day, Sat at my table, haunted my bed.
Стр. 85 - MAPLE LEAVES OCTOBER turned my maple's leaves to gold ; The most are gone now ; here and there one lingers : Soon these will slip from out the twigs' weak hold, Like coins between a dying miser's fingers.
