All is beauty. - Guardian Angel--A Picture at Fano [World] Oh, to be in England, Now that April's there, And whoever wakes in England Sees some morning, unaware, That the lowest boughs and the brushwood sheaf, Round the elm-tree bole are in tiny leaf While the chaffinch sings on the orchard bough In England--now. - Home Thoughts from Abroad [England] All will be gay when noontide wakes anew The buttercups, the little children's dower. - Home Thoughts--From Abroad [Buttercups] "With this same key Shakespeare unlocked his heart," once more!
