Last Line: "the calm and peace of eventide."
Subject(s): Flowers; Mountains; Nature; Trees; Hills; Downs (great Britain)


"To me are given many things:
Colors that shame a bird's bright wings;
The velvet softness of the dew;
Forget-me-nots; the sea's deep blue.

"The windblown rose that seems to speak;
Peach blossoms, iris, slim and meek;
The birch trees in their silver dress:
Grass and the clover's loveliness.

"The mountain roads that run so high
They seem a pathway to the sky;
The yellow dunes salt with the tide:
The calm and peace of eventide."
