The violets were past their prime, Yet their departing breath Was sweeter, in the blast of death, Than all the lavish fragrance of the time. - The Adventure of a Star [Violets] Golden Bill! Golden Bill! Lo, the peep of day; All the air is cool and still, From the elm-tree on the hill, Chant away: . . . . Let thy loud and welcome lay Pour alway Few notes but strong. - The Blackbird [Blackbirds] The Rose has but a Summer reign, The daisy never dies. - The Daisy--On Finding One in Bloom on Christmas Day [Daisies] Blue thou art, intensely blue; Flower, whence came thy dazzling hue? - The Gentianella [Gentians] When evening closes Nature's eye, The glow-worm lights her little spark To captivate her favorite fly And tempt the rover through the dark. - The Glow-worm [Glowworms] A work of skill, surpassing sense, A labor of Omnipotence; Though frail as dust it meet thine eye, He form'd this gnat who built the sky. - The Gnat [Gnats] There is a calm for those who weep, A rest for weary pilgrims found, They softly lie and sweetly sleep Low in the ground. - The Grave [Graves] 'Tis not the whole of life to live; Nor all of death to die. - The Issues of Life and Death [Life] Bliss in possession will not last; Remember'd joys are never past; At once the fountain, stream, and sea, They were,--they are,--they yet shall be. - The Little Cloud [Bliss] Joys too exquisite to last, And yet more exquisite when past. - The Little Cloud [Joy] Dark-green and gemm'd with flowers of snow, With close uncrowded branches spread Not proudly high, not meanly low, A graceful myrtle rear'd its head. - The Myrtle [Myrtle] The tall Oak, towering to the skies, The fury of the wind defies, From age to age, in virtue strong. Inured to stand, and suffer wrong. - The Oak [Oak] Distinct as the billows, yet one as the sea. - The Ocean (st. 6) [Ocean] Two roses on one slender spray In sweet communion grew, Together hailed the morning ray And drank the evening dew. - The Roses [Roses] While rose-buds scarcely show'd their hue, But coyly linger'd on the thorn. - The Roses [Roses] Eagle of flowers! I see thee stand, And on the sun's noon-glory gaze; With eye like his, thy lids expand, And fringe their disk with golden rays: Though fix'd on earth, in darkness rooted there, Light is thy element, thy dwelling air, Thy prospect heaven. - The Sunflower [Sunflowers] When the good man yields his breath (For the good man never dies). - The Wanderer of Switzerland (pt. V) [Immortality] Hope against hope, and ask till ye receive. - The World before the Flood (canto V) [Hope] His home, the spot of earth supremely blest, A dearer, sweeter spot than all the rest. - West Indies (pt. III, l. 67) [Home] Displaying page 3 of 3 for this author: << Prev 1 2 [3]
