FROM beauteous Windsor's high and story'd Halls, Where Edward's Chiefs start from the glowing Walls, To my low Cott, from ivory Beds of State, Pleas'd I return unenvious of the Great. So the Bee ranges o'er the vary'd Scenes Of Corn, of Heaths, of Fallows, and of Greens, Pervades the Thicket, soars above the Hill, Or murmurs to the Meadows murm'ring Rill; Now haunts old hollow'd Oaks, deserted Cells, Now seeks the low Vale-Lilly's silver Bells; Sips the warm Fragrance of the Greenhouse Bow'rs, And tastes the Myrtle and the Citron-flow'rs; At length returning to the wonted Comb, Prefers to All his little Straw-built Home. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...UNDER HOUSE ARREST IN WINDSOR by HENRY HOWARD THE CURFEW TOWER by ROBERT SEYMOUR BRIDGES CHAUCER AND WINDSOR by THOMAS CAMPBELL A FAREWELL TO POETRY by THOMAS WARTON THE ELDER A FRAGMENT OF A SATIRE by THOMAS WARTON THE ELDER A PARAPHRASE ON THE 13TH CHAPTER OF ISAIAH by THOMAS WARTON THE ELDER A PARAPHRASE ON THE 13TH ODE OF THE 3RD BOOK OF HORACE by THOMAS WARTON THE ELDER A PARAPHRASE ON THE 65TH PSALM by THOMAS WARTON THE ELDER A PARAPHRASE ON...LEVITICUS: 11; CONTAINING REASONS OF PROHIBITIONS by THOMAS WARTON THE ELDER A RUNIC ODE by THOMAS WARTON THE ELDER AGAINST DRESS, TO A LADY by THOMAS WARTON THE ELDER AN AMERICAN LOVE-ODE; TAKEN FROM SECOND VOLUME OF MONTAGNE'S ESSAYS by THOMAS WARTON THE ELDER |
