...dipped a finger length
And made it leap my knuckle, having tossed
A flower to try its currents where they crossed.
The meadow grass could be cemented down
From growing under pavements of a town;

With cinder loads dumped down? The brook was

With their round yellow hats,
Like cheeses,
Beside them.

Two I love,
Three I love I say . . ."

And like a child amidst the meadow grass
Under the southern sun, I languid lie

...my love is sleeping cold
Where none may see and none shall pass.
The daisies quicken in the mold,
And richer fares the meadow grass.
The warding cypress pleads the skies,
The mound goes level in the rain.
My love all cold and silent lies-
Pray God it will not rise again!...Read more of this...

All present joys, and present griefs eschew;

Which, when they mow it down, springs up anew....Read more of this...

And blown by all the winds that pass
And wet with all the showers,
She walks among the meadow grass
And eats the meadow flowers....Read more of this...
