In a Wood

by Thomas Hardy
 Pale beech and pine-tree blue, 
Set in one clay, 
Bough to bough cannot you 
Bide out your day?

Blighting with poison-drip 
Neighborly spray?

When Nature shrouds her in her trance

Not undelightful now to roam

The Lane

by Edward Thomas
 Some day, I think, there will be people enough
In Froxfield to pick all the blackberries
Out of the hedges of Green Lane, the straight
Broad lane where now September hides herself
In bracken and blackberry, harebell and dwarf gorse.
To-day, where yesterday a hundred sheep
Were nibbling, halcyon bells shake to the sway
Of waters that no vessel ever sailed ...
It is a kind of...Read more of this...
