The Collected Poems of Lord De Tabley | ||
V
When the day glooms my passion is at rest,
For thou hast nothing of the gloomy hour.
But when the face of day is gaudy dressed,
I trace thee imaged in each summer flower.
For thou hast nothing of the gloomy hour.
But when the face of day is gaudy dressed,
I trace thee imaged in each summer flower.
I think the earth is glorious, and I know
We twain might pace it under glorious stars:
To miss this crown of joy, my chiefest woe
New rankles sickly thought's half-healing scars.
We twain might pace it under glorious stars:
To miss this crown of joy, my chiefest woe
New rankles sickly thought's half-healing scars.
Is the sky soft, and does the resting sun
Glow from the undercloud till wood and sky
Are glory-mantled? Am I not alone?
Let her be near and let the world go by,
Glow from the undercloud till wood and sky
Are glory-mantled? Am I not alone?
Let her be near and let the world go by,
Pass on with curious ears, and scornful eyes,
Or listless looks, a cankered heart's disguise.
Or listless looks, a cankered heart's disguise.
