“
I saw the starry TreePut forth the blossom Time.
— Robert Williams Buchanan
I saw the starry TreePut forth the blossom Time.
Full of a sweet indifference.
Believing hath a core of unbelieving.
Even on the white English crags With faces pale that hunger'd to the light.
Their hearts and sentiments were free, their appetites were hearty.
Upward my face I turn to you, And, see! I touch the book of songs you tenderly left behind you!
Tho' the world could turn from you, That gods still snatch, as worthy death, the soul in its aspiration.
