The hazel-blooms, in threads of crimson hue, Peep through the swelling buds, foretelling Spring, Ere yet a white-thorn leaf appears in view, Or March finds throstles pleased enough to sing. - [March] The vaulted void of purple sky That everywhere extends, That stretches from the dazzled eye, In space that never ends; A morning whose uprisen sun No setting e'er shall see; A day that comes without a noon Such is eternity. - [Eternity] When badgers fight and everyone's a foe. - Badger [Badgers] Loud is the summer's busy song The smallest breeze can find a tongue, While insects of each tiny size Grow teasing with their melodies, Till noon burns with its blistering breath Around, and day lies still as death. - July [July] Now musing o'er the changing scene Farmers behind the tavern screen Collect; with elbows idly press'd On hob, reclines the corner's guest, Reading the news to mark again The bankrupt lists or price of grain. Puffing the while his red-tipt pipe He dreams o'er troubles nearly ripe, Yet, winter's leisure to regale, Hopes better times, and sips his ale. - Shepherd's Calendar [Inns] Old noted oak! I saw thee in a mood Of vague indifference; and yet with me Thy memory, like thy fate, hath lingering stood For years, thou hermit, in the lonely sea Of grass that waves around thee! - The Rural Muse--Burthorp Oak [Oak] Old April wanes, and her last dewy morn Her death-bed steeps in tears; to hail the May New blooming blossoms 'neath the sun are born, And all poor April's charms are swept away. - The Village Minstrel and Other Poems--The Last of April [April] Tasteful illumination of the night, Bright scattered, twinkling star of spangled earth. - To the Glowworm [Glowworms]
