Sonnets by the Rev. Charles Strong | ||
XLVI.
She grieved that her loved Season's pensive hue,
Its colours sadly gay, so soon should fade,
And she not seek, in thoughtful mood, the glade,
Nor from grey steep the mellow landscape view:
Its colours sadly gay, so soon should fade,
And she not seek, in thoughtful mood, the glade,
Nor from grey steep the mellow landscape view:
Others too grieved, that One, so fond and true,
Marked not with them each sudden gleam and shade,
The leaf's light fall, the stillness—deeper made
By rustling breeze, or birds forlorn and few.
Marked not with them each sudden gleam and shade,
The leaf's light fall, the stillness—deeper made
By rustling breeze, or birds forlorn and few.
O pure delight! when minds are well agreed,
To commune thus with Woman, early taught
In Nature's page devotedly to read:
To commune thus with Woman, early taught
In Nature's page devotedly to read:
Lady, with thee—who, in thy vernal hour,
Like some heaven-favoured plant, art richly fraught
With Wisdom's golden fruit, and Beauty's flower.
Like some heaven-favoured plant, art richly fraught
With Wisdom's golden fruit, and Beauty's flower.
