Balm up her eyes that stare at staring Night;

Seal down her lids with sweet, refreshing gleams,

Or visions, rather, of the happy life

We’ve planned together; and leave her not till the light

Of morn, with me, shall kiss her from her dreams.

TO A WILD-ROSE BOUQUET.

Wild roses down the lane

Sweet Laeda gave in June,

To glad me

And to sad me,
