Lover of fragrance, and too late repents;

Nor more of heavy hyacinth now may drink,

Nor spicy pink,

Nor summer’s rose, nor garnered lavender,

But the few lingering scents

Of streakèd pea, and gillyflower, and stocks

Of courtly purple, and aromatic phlox.

And at all times to hear are drowsy tones

Of dizzy flies, and humming drones,

With sudden flap of pigeon wings in the sky,
