HIGH FOREST FLOWERS
What is the spell on these high sorest flowers?What are they, but the flowers that we have known,
That, fresh in dart and glitter, here have blown
Through the sweetness of the solitary hours?
Harebells of every droop through grassy showers,
Wide pansies, violets of profounder tone,
A plot of daisies, crystal and alone,
Draining through every stalk the charmèd powers
Of air and earth and never-tainted dew:
Great comfort is it that they are not new,
But veritable, dear of face, with all
The sweets that in our memory we store.
Belovèd, when I look on thee once more,
So be it, so, my heart, may it befall!
