In Veronica's Garden
By Alfred Austin: With Fourteen Illustrations
Austin, Alfred (1835-1913)
[section]
[Give me a roof where Wisdom dwells]
[Here have I learnt the little that I know]
[My northern blood exults to face]
[For where, beneath one's parent sky]
THE PASSING OF SPRING
THE FALLEN ELM
A TWILIGHT SONG
[‘If you were mine, if you were mine]
[When June is wreathed with wilding rose]
['Tis because, though in dusky bower]
[‘Were I a Poet, I would dwell]
[When the reaper lays the sickle by]
[Beyond the pasture's withered bents]
[Give me October's meditative haze]
TO THE AUTUMN WIND
[Why should I, from this long and losing strife]
A CHRISTMAS CAROL

[My northern blood exults to face]
My northern blood exults to face
The rapture of this rough embrace,
Glowing in every vein to feel
The cordial caress of steel
From spear-blue air and sword-blue sea,
Armour of England's liberty.
