It's a looking-glass for wild and lovely things:
A fawn has gazed here and a butterfly
Has glimpsed the peacock-glory of its wings;
And trees that kept perpetual tryst close by
Have noted all their finery which is given
By each short season as it hurries on;
And in cool eves a timid star has striven
To bathe its slender silver as it shone.
