OXFORD GARLANDS
SELECTED BY R. M. LEONARD
How much a dunce that has been sent to roam Excels a dunce that has been kept at home.
Cowper.
HUMPHREY MILFORD OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS LONDON EDINBURGH GLASGOW NEW YORK TORONTO MELBOURNE BOMBAY 1914
OXFORD: HORACE HART PRINTER TO THE UNIVERSITY


The ceaseless rain is falling fast, And yonder gilded vane, Immovable for three days past, Points to the misty main.
It drives me in upon myself5 And to the fireside gleams, To pleasant books that crowd my shelf, And still more pleasant dreams.
I read whatever bards have sung Of lands beyond the sea,10 And the bright days when I was young Come thronging back to me.
In fancy I can hear again The Alpine torrent's roar, The mule-bells on the hills of Spain,15 The sea at Elsinore.
