Phantasmion
By Sara Coleridge
Coleridge, Sara Coleridge (1802-1852)
[section]
[See the bright stranger!]
[Tho' I be young—ah! well-a-day!]
[Sylvan stag, securely play]
[One face alone, one face alone]
[Deem not that our eldest heir]
[While the storm her bosom scourges]
[Many a fountain cool and shady]
[The captive bird with ardour sings]
[The sun may speed or loiter on his way]
[Grief's heavy hand hath sway'd the lute]
[Life and light, Anthemna bright]
[O sleep, my babe, hear not the rippling wave]
[How gladsome is a child, and how perfect is his mirth]
[I tremble when with look benign]
[Ne'er ask where knaves are mining.]
[How high yon lark is heavenward borne!]
[Newts and blindworms do no wrong]
[The winds were whispering, the waters glistering]
[False Love, too long thou hast delay'd]
[He came unlook'd for, undesir'd]
[Yon changeful cloud will soon thy aspect wear]
[I was a brook in straitest channel pent]
[By the storm invaded]
[I thought by tears thy soul to move]
[Blest is the tarn which towering cliffs o'ershade]
[What means that darkly-working brow]
[Methought I wander'd dimly on]
[“The spring returns, and balmy budding flow'rs]
[Full oft before some gorgeous fane]
[See yon blithe child that dances in our sight!]
[Their armour is flashing]
[Ah, where lie now those locks that lately stream'd]
[Poor is the portrait that one look portrays]
