SUMMER AND WINTER, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: We'll rest among hot summer scents
Last Line: Of an old folio.
Subject(s): Oxford University


WE'LL rest among hot summer scents,
In the deep heather bed,
And see the warm true bracken brown,
And the bright rowan red;
Or climb at dawn to the hill-top,
Where the clean winds are born,
And look down on the rich plough land,
And the long swell of the corn.

When the North-Easter whines without,
To the small turret room
We'll climb, and talk of the old times
In the warm firelit gloom;
Or silent sit, while in the blaze
Rise dreams of long ago,
Or slowly turn the yellow leaves
Of an old folio.
