I seemed to lose all waking will,

And all my soul was lulled to dreams;

Wherethrough there floated, drowsy-wise,

Bright glints of bird-wings, gracious gleams

Of tender, sunlit summer skies,

And fleet, sweet visions of the rare

Deep, shadowy hearts the forests bear.

FOREBODING

The scarlet briars trailed across

The grave I journeyed far to see;
