LVII. “MORE THAN THE FLOWERS FOR JUNE”
More than the flowers for June,—more than the lonely surges
Long for the sweet West wind that combs their crests and urges
Their white steeds on the way:—
More than the lonely stars when all the heaven is pallid
Long for the countless hosts that round about them rallied
Ere the first gleam of morning's banner grey:
Long for the sweet West wind that combs their crests and urges
Their white steeds on the way:—
More than the lonely stars when all the heaven is pallid
Long for the countless hosts that round about them rallied
Ere the first gleam of morning's banner grey:
More than the river's heart that longs to hear the laughter
Of the strong far-off sea, and yearneth wildly after
The shadeless waves and sun:
More than the dark-green woods, their bowers with leaves adorning,
Long for the eager kiss of buoyant-hearted morning,
I long for thee,—till love and pain grow one.
Of the strong far-off sea, and yearneth wildly after
The shadeless waves and sun:
More than the dark-green woods, their bowers with leaves adorning,
Long for the eager kiss of buoyant-hearted morning,
I long for thee,—till love and pain grow one.
