Now you are gone you seem a visitor, Something that haunted for a little time The splendor of the evening, or astir With bees in blooms of lime; Or, at the hour when mothers tell old tales To children, something passing through the gleams Of cottage windows; or, on western gales Riding, a king of dreams; Or, about hawthorns lingering to greet The earliest may among the blazing green, Or, through the heather traveling to meet Spirits we have not seen; A lovely radiance of a passing star Upon a sudden journey through the gloaming, Lighting, low Irish dills, and then afar To its own regions homing. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONG FROM AN EVIL WOOD: 2 by EDWARD JOHN MORETON DRAX PLUNKETT SONG FROM AN EVIL WOOD: 3 by EDWARD JOHN MORETON DRAX PLUNKETT LITTLE SON by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON THE PROGRESS OF POETRY; A VARIATION by MATTHEW ARNOLD TO SIR GODFREY KNELLER by JOHN DRYDEN TO THE UNKNOWN EROS: BOOK 2: 7.
