BEAUTY, by                    
First Line: They tell me winds of england stir
Last Line: How should I bear the ecstasy?
Subject(s): Beauty


They tell me winds of England stir
Through drifts of glowing daffodils;
That flowers of flame and lavender
Paint beauty on Italian hills.

I long to cull the warm delight
Of every golden poet-land—
To sate my vision with the sight,
And touch the treasure with my hand.

And yet, if alien fields appear
More lovely than the ones I see,
Beholding them too bright and near,
How should I bear the ecstasy?
