In rude amazement, fearful and yet bold,

While she performs her customed charities.

I weigh the loaded hours till life is bare—

O God, for one clear day, a snowdrop, and sweet air!

SONNET.

O Winter, wilt thou never, never, go?

O Summer, but I weary for thy coming,

Longing once more to hear the Luggie flow,

And frugal bees, laboriously humming.
