Pastoral Poems by Nicholas Breton, Selected Poetry by George Wither, and Pastoral Poetry by William Browne (of Tavistock)

by Nicholas Breton; William Browne; George Wither

And not a leaf is seen.

The blackbird and the thrush,

That made the woods to ring,

That hath the heavenly throat,

Doth now alas! not once afford

Recording of a note.

The flowers have had a frost,
