THERE on the top of the down, The wild heather round me and over me June's high blue, When I look'd at the bracken so bright and the heather so brown, I thought to myself I would offer this book to you, This, and my love together, To you that are seventy-seven, With a faith as clear as the heights of the June-blue heaven, And a fancy as summer-new As the green of the bracken amid the gloom of the heather. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...JUNE (1) by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT KNEE-DEEP IN JUNE by JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY THE SHEPHEARDES CALENDER: JUNE by EDMUND SPENSER ADLESTROP by PHILIP EDWARD THOMAS CLOUDY JUNE by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN WHEN JUNE IS COME by ROBERT SEYMOUR BRIDGES TO A JUNE BREEZE by HENRY CUYLER BUNNER JUNE'S COMING by JOHN BURROUGHS DUMB IN JUNE by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON A CHARACTER by ALFRED TENNYSON |
