[Would I could talk as the flowers talk]
NATURE-NOTES and IMPRESSIONS
1883–1886
[Lead me, thou Bard of Beauty, through those caves]
[O let me sing as thou didst, Keats, and die]
[In the forest of music often and often]
[When winter nights are cold and shrill]
[The roar of winter through the palsied oaks]
[I've wooed soft sleep all night]
[With its helm of silver and spur of gold]
[By the willow copse near the river shore]
[O wilding of the young, young June]
[When all the orchards faded lie]
[The moon is a lemon petal]
[Deep down, deep down, deep, deep, deep]
[Come, kiss me, beautiful Death]
[Cheerily rang the bugle horn]
[And now yon crystal mount of clouds]
[The broad Ohio's darkening stream]
[O wind of eve, what spices, steeped]
[When eve casts on the day's dark bier]
[O my Kentucky, forest old!]
[A distant river glimpsed through deep-leaved trees]
[No more for me shall gray-robed Dawn look through]
[I saw sweet Summer go]
[When the jeweled lights of the fireflies gleam]
[Thus in the dusk as ghosts they met]
[In dimly lighted cloisters of the heart]
[Amid the summer fields and flowers]
[Keep thou my face engraven in thine heart]
[One milk-white hand she stretched to me]

Nature-notes and impressions in prose and verse
[O wilding of the young, young June]
O wilding of the young, young June,
That this old rock holds fast,
Thy day is done too soon, too soon,
Too beautiful to last.
