 | The poems of Richard Henry Stoddard |  |
[The grove is crowned with hoar-frost]
The grove is crowned with hoar-frost,
And clothed in robes of snow;
But buds of tender purple
On all the branches blow.
And clothed in robes of snow;
But buds of tender purple
On all the branches blow.
They rain upon the river,
As winds go sweeping by,
Redden the waves a moment,
And then like torches die.
As winds go sweeping by,
Redden the waves a moment,
And then like torches die.
At the foot of yonder gallery
I see a beauteous girl;
She has a thousand garments
Of satin and of pearl.
I see a beauteous girl;
She has a thousand garments
Of satin and of pearl.
233
The blossoms blush to meet her,
It is the maiden Spring,
For hark, among the branches
I hear the cuckoo sing!
It is the maiden Spring,
For hark, among the branches
I hear the cuckoo sing!
