Subject(s): Nature




FULL summer and at noon ; from a waste bed
Convolvulus, musk-mallow, poppies spread
The triumph of the sunshine overhead.
Blue on refulgent ash-trees lies the heat ;
It tingles on the hedge-rows ; the young wheat
Sleeps, warm in golden verdure, at my feet.
The pale, sweet grasses of the hayfield blink ;
The heath-moors, as the bees of honey drink.
Suck the deep bosom of the day. To think
Of all that beauty by the light defined
None shares my vision ! Sharply on my mind
Presses the sorrow : fern and flower are blind.
