...t, to the shimmering peak
     I veil its snow in floods of Roseate light.

   Azure
   Mine is the heavenly hue of Azure skies,
     Where the white clouds lie soft as seraphs' wings,
   Mine the sweet, shadowed light in innocent eyes,
     Whose lovely looks light only on lovely things.

   Mine the Blue Distance, delicate and clear,
     Mine the Blue Glory of the morning sea,
   All that the soul so longs for, finds not here,
     Fond eyes deceive themselves,...Read more of this...

...nd spreads her sheets o’ daisies white
 Out o’er the grassy lea;
Now Phoebus cheers the crystal streams,
 And glads the azure skies;
But nought can glad the weary wight
 That fast in durance lies.


Now laverocks wake the merry morn
 Aloft on dewy wing;
The merle, in his noontide bow’r,
 Makes woodland echoes ring;
The mavis wild wi’ mony a note,
 Sings drowsy day to rest:
In love and freedom they rejoice,
 Wi’ care nor thrall opprest.


Now blooms the lily by the ban...Read more of this...

...ic pouring forth
 In ev’ry grove;
I saw thee eye the general mirth
 With boundless love.


“When ripen’d fields and azure skies
Call’d forth the reapers’ rustling noise,
I saw thee leave their ev’ning joys,
 And lonely stalk,
To vent thy bosom’s swelling rise,
 In pensive walk.


“When youthful love, warm-blushing, strong,
Keen-shivering, shot thy nerves along,
Those accents grateful to thy tongue,
 Th’ adorèd Name,
I taught thee how to pour in song,
 To soothe thy fl...Read more of this...

'Twas at the time the golden Sun doth rise, 
And with his Beams enlights the azure skies, 
When lo a Troop in Silver Arms drew near, 
The glorious Sun did nere so bright appear; 
Dire Scarlet Plumes adorn'd their haughty Crests, 
And crescent Shields did shade their shining Brests; 
Down from their shoulders hung a Panthers Hide, 
A Bow and Quiver ratled by their side; 
Their hands a knotty well try'd Speare did bear, 
Jocund they se...Read more of this...

...uries 
Roves back the rose. 
Very old are the brooks; 
And the rills that rise 
Where snow sleeps cold beneath 
The azure skies 
Sing such a history 
Of come and gone, 
Their every drop is as wise 
As Solomon. 

Very old are we men; 
Our dreams are tales 
Told in dim Eden 
By Eve's nightingales; 
We wake and whisper awhile, 
But, the day gone by, 
Silence and sleep like fields 
Of amaranth lie....Read more of this...

...ch waving fold;
A heap of gold—a rim of amethyst,
A hanging cloud by glancing sunbeams kissed.
Afar upon the tinted, azure skies
A tiny cloud of rosy color lies;
A coral on a velvet robe of blue,
A warm, bright wave upon the skies' pale hue.
Oh! such the sunset sky of Italy,
The land of dreams, of love and melody;
The country of the passions and the heart,
The mother of th' ideal and of art.
Oh, painter! still your heart's wild throb and cry,
You cannot paint this...Read more of this...

...ess road,
     Calm and erect, with haggard eyes,
   The prisoner bore his fetters' load
     Beneath the scorching, azure skies.

   Serene and tall, with brows unbent,
     Without a hope, without a friend,
   He, under escort, onward went,
     With death to meet him at the end.

   The Poppy fields were pink and gay
     On either side, and in the heat
   Their drowsy scent exhaled all day
     A dream-like fragrance almost sweet.

   And when the cool of e...Read more of this...

If this you cannot do, then talk no more
Of nature's wealth of deep and mystic lore—
Of waving grass and azure skies; a face
Is worth them all.
                    She stands in sunny grace,
A woman—the fairest picture e'er was wrought;
A poem fresh from God's own living thought.
She turns again, for once more at her feet
A few fair flowers fall—spell-bound she stands,
Then stoops and clasps them all with eager hands;
Blue violets, and roses wild and sw...Read more of this...

...ness.
Sorrow is some forgotten word, 
And so, except in rhyme, is sadness.

The world is very fair to me –
Such azure skies, such golden weather, 
I’m like a long caged bird set free, 
My heart is lighter than a feather.

I rise rejoicing in my life; 
I live with love of God and neighbour; 
My days flow on unmarred by strife, 
And sweetened by my pleasant labour.

O youth! O spring! O happy days, 
Ye are so passing sweet, and tender, 
And while the fleeting se...Read more of this...

...e land where the fair citron blows,
Where the bright orange midst the foliage glows,
Where soft winds greet us from the azure skies,
Where silent myrtles, stately laurels rise,
Know'st thou it well?

'Tis 
there, 'tis there,
That I with thee, beloved one, would repair.

Know'st thou the house? On columns rests its pile,
Its halls are gleaming, and its chambers smile,
And marble statues stand and gaze on me:
"Poor child! what sorrow hath befallen thee?"
Know'st thou it wel...Read more of this...

...Ere any roamed, or died.

Auburn ringlets, and hazel eyes 
Blue eyes and tresses of gold. 
Winds joy laden, and azure skies, 
Belong to those days of old. 
We will leave the Present's shores awhile 
And float on the Past's smooth sea. 
But I must not look at you, my friend, 
And you must not look at me....Read more of this...

...The heavenly hills of Holland,--
How wondrously they rise 
Above the smooth green pastures
Into the azure skies!
With blue and purple hollows,
With peaks of dazzling snow, 
Along the far horizon
The clouds are marching slow. 

No mortal foot has trodden
The summits of that range, 
Nor walked those mystic valleys
Whose colors ever change; 
Yet we possess their beauty,
And visit them in dreams, 
While the ruddy gold of sunset
From cliff and canyon gleams...Read more of this...

...e pansy's breast.
A star shines out in the purple east,
  Oh, a beautiful star is he!
With his home in the wonderful azure skies,
  And his throne in the deep blue sea.
There are bars of gold in the crimson west
  And jewels on every bar;
Yet Naomi's soul is beyond the sea,
  And her eyes are fixed on the star.
O star that shines in the dusky east,
  Be thou the star of my youth,
And guide my soul through the shadows of earth
  To the shining gates of truth.

...Under the stars, when the shadows fall,
  Under the stars of night;
What is so fair as the jeweled crown
Of the azure skies, when the sun is down,
  Beautiful stars of light!
Under the stars, where the daisies lie
  Lifeless beneath the snow;
Lovely and pure, they have lived a day,
Silently passing forever away,
  Lying so meek and low.
Under the stars in the long-ago—
  Under the stars to-night;
Life is the same, with its great unrest
Wearily throbbing with...Read more of this...
