Lyrics of Nature, Art and Love. By Francis William Bourdillon
Bourdillon, Francis William (1852-1921)
I.
Part I Art and Nature
II.
Part II Love
Love's Largesse
Life and Love
Mother-of-Pearl
The Words of Lovers
Darkening Years
A Rippled Stone
Two Dreams
A Butterfly on a Glacier
After their Year
“Where all Love's Pilgrims come”
Star-Glimpses
What is Love but a Dreamer?
The Song-Master
The Herald-Flower
Lost Leaves of the Greek Anthology
III.
Part III Man's Love
IV.
Part IV Maiden's Love

Earth has Forgotten
Earth
has forgotten
Her Eden days,
And the garden hidden
From human gaze,
The angel footsteps,
The thornless ways.
O world unwitting!
No spot of thee
But might in a moment
All Eden be,
Could I have my lost love
There with me!
