Flower Pieces and other poems | ||
HONEYSUCKLE.
One summer noon, all carelessly dispreadWhere lush green trails a thickest bower did form,
I gazed on trumpet-blossoms overhead
Dropping with honey sweetness, amber-warm,
Till sleep came softly. Oh, what maiden charm
Flush'd dainty-bright that bower, in vision seen!
What noble knighthood there did swiftly arm
For high emprises of the Faëry Queen!
Murmuring a word, I woke—'twas Spenser's name I ween.
