SOUVENIR.
Dark hickory-boughs against blue shining sea;
Sharp-shapen fir-trees pluming sombre rocks;
The cadence of wind-murmurs fresh and free;
The merry sunlight on brown girlish locks;
The sounding of two tender voices low ...
And all so long ago!
Sharp-shapen fir-trees pluming sombre rocks;
The cadence of wind-murmurs fresh and free;
The merry sunlight on brown girlish locks;
The sounding of two tender voices low ...
And all so long ago!
A building of sweet castles in the air,
Frail as the slim calm cloud o'er distant seas;
Delicious idlesse; carelessness of care;
Fragments of song; unutterable case!
Life's music at soft pianissimo . ...
And all so long ago!
Frail as the slim calm cloud o'er distant seas;
Delicious idlesse; carelessness of care;
Fragments of song; unutterable case!
Life's music at soft pianissimo . ...
And all so long ago!
A purple whorl of sunset in the West;
A great gold star through a wide oriel seen;
Two lilied hands upon a placid breast;
A mute pale face, ineffably serene!
A mourner kneeling in impassioned woe ...
And all so long ago!
A great gold star through a wide oriel seen;
Two lilied hands upon a placid breast;
A mute pale face, ineffably serene!
A mourner kneeling in impassioned woe ...
