+
+ Continuous as the stars that shine
+ And twinkle in the milky way,
+ They stretched in never-ending line
+ Along the margin of a bay:
+ Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
+ Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
+
+ The waves beside them danced; but they
+ Outdid the sparkling waves in glee;
+ A poet could not but be gay,
+ In such a jocund company;
+ I gazed and gazed, but little thought
+ What wealth the show to me had brought!
+
+ For oft when on my couch I lie,
+ In vacant or in pensive mood,
+ They flash upon that inward eye
+ Which is the bliss of solitude;
+ And then my heart with pleasure fills,
+ And dances with the Daffodils.

+ WORDSWORTH.
+
+
+
+
+ _THE ROSE._
+
+
+ Go, lovely Rose!
+ Tell her that wastes her time on me,
+ That now she knows,
+ When I resemble her to thee,
+ How sweet and fair she seems to be.
+
+ Tell her that's young.
+ And shuns to have her graces spied,
+ That hadst thou sprung
+ In deserts where no men abide,
+ Thou must have uncommended died.
+
+ Small is the worth
+ Of beauty from the light retired;
+ Bid her come forth,
+ Suffer herself to be desired,
+ And not blush so to be admired.
+
+ Then die, that she
+ The common fate of all things rare
+ May read in thee;
+ How small a part of time they share
+ That are so wondrous sweet and fair,
+
+ Yet, though thou fade,
+ From thy dead leaves let fragrance rise
+ And teach the maid
+ That goodness Time's rude hand defies;
+ That virtue lives when beauty dies.

+
+
+ _THE SENSITIVE PLANT._
+
+
+ A SENSITIVE Plant in a garden grew,
+ And the young winds fed it with silver dew,
+ And it opened its fan-like leaves to the light,
+ And closed them beneath the kisses of Night.
+
+ * * *
+
+ But none ever trembled and panted with bliss
+ In the garden, the field, or the wilderness,
+ Like doe in the noontide with love's sweet want,
+ As the companionless Sensitive Plant.
+
+ The snowdrop, and then the violet,
+ Arose from the ground with warm rain wet,
+ And their breath was mixed with fresh odour, sent,
+ From the turf, like the voice and the instrument.
+
+ Then the pied wind-flowers and the tulip tall,
+ And narcissi, the fairest among them all,
+ Who gaze on their eyes in the stream's recess,
+ Till they die of their own dear loveliness.
+
+ And the naiad-like lily of the vale.
+ Whom youth makes so fair and passion so pale,
+ That the light of its tremulous bells is seen
+ Through their pavilions of tender green;
+
+ And the hyacinth purple, and white, and blue,
+ Which flung from its bells a sweet peal anew
+ Of music so delicate, soft and intense,
+ It was felt like an odour within the sense!
+
+ And the rose like a nymph to the bath addrest,
+ Which unveiled the depth of her glowing breast,
+ Till, fold after fold, to the fainting air
+ The soul of her beauty and love lay bare;
+
+ And the wand-like lily, which lifted up,
+ As a Maenad, its moonlight-coloured cup,
+ Till the fiery star, which is its eye,
+ Gazed through the clear dew on the tender sky;
+
+ And the jessamine faint, and the sweet tuberose,
+ The sweetest flower for scent that blows;
+ And all rare blossoms from every clime
+ Grew in that garden in perfect prime.
+
+ The Sensitive Plant, which could give small fruit
+ Of the love which it felt from the leaf to the root,
+ Received more than all [flowers], it loved more than ever,
+ Where none wanted but it, could belong to the giver--
+
+ For the Sensitive Plant has no bright flower;
+ Radiance and odour are not its dower;
+ It loves, even like Love its deep heart is full,
+ It desires what it has not, the beautiful!
+
+ * * *
+
+ Each and all like ministering angels were
+ For the Sensitive Plant sweet joy to bear.
+ Whilst the lagging hours of the day went by
+ Like windless clouds o'er a tender sky.
+
+ And when evening descended from heaven above,
+ And the earth was all rest, and the air was all love,
+ And delight, though less bright, was far more deep,
+ And the day's veil fell from the world of sleep,
+
+ * * *
+
+ The Sensitive Plant was the earliest
+ Up-gathered into the bosom of rest;
+ A sweet child weary of its delight,
+ The feeblest, and yet the favourite,
+ Cradled within the embrace of night.

+ But I will down yon river rove, amang the wood sae green,
+ And a' to pu' a posie to my ain dear May.
+
+ The primrose I will pu', the firstling o' the year,
+ And I will pu' the pink, the emblem o' my dear,
+ For she's the pink o' womankind, and blooms without a peer;
+ And a' to be a posie to my ain dear May.
+
+ I'll pu' the budding rose, when Phoebus peeps in view,
+ For it's like a baumy kiss o' her sweet bonnie mou;
+ The hyacinth's for constancy w' its unchanging blue,
+ And a' to be a posie to my ain dear May.
+
+ The lily it is pure, and the lily it is fair.
+ And in her lovely bosom I'll place the lily there;
+ The daisy's for simplicity and unaffected air,
+ And a' to be a posie to my ain dear May.
+
+ The hawthorn I will pu', wi' its locks o' siller grey,
+ Where, like an aged man, it stands at break o' day,
+ But the songster's nest within the bush I winna tak away;
+ And a' to be a posie to my ain dear May.
+
+ The woodbine I will pu' when the e'ening star is near,
+ And the diamond-drops o' dew shall be her e'en sae clear:
+ The violet's for modesty which weel she fa's to wear,
+ And a' to be a posie to my ain dear May.
+
+ I'll tie the posie round w' the silken band o' luve,
+ And I'll place it in her breast, and I'll swear by a' above,
+ That to my latest draught o' life the band shall ne'er remuve.
+ And this will be a posie to my ain dear May.

+ _TO A MOUNTAIN DAISY,_
+
+ _On turning one down with a plough, in April_ 1786.
+
+
+ WEE, modest, crimson-tipped flow'r,
+ Thou's met me in an evil hour;
+ For I maun crush amang the stoure
+ Thy slender stem;
+ To spare thee now is past my po'w'r,
+ Thou bonnie gem.
+
+ Alas! it's no thy neebor sweet,
+ The bonnie _Lark_, companion meet!
+ Bending thee 'mang the dewy weet!
+ Wi' spreckled breast,
+ When upward-springing, blythe, to greet
+ The purpling east.
+
+ Could blew the bitter-biting north
+ Upon thy early, humble birth;
+ Yet cheerfully thou glinted forth
+ Amid the storm,
+ Scarce rear'd above the parent earth
+ Thy tender form.
+
+ The flaunting flow'rs our gardens yield,
+ High shelt'ring woods and wa's maun shield,
+ But thou beneath the random bield
+ O' clod or stane,
+ Adorns the histie _stibble-field,_
+ Unseen, alane.
+
+ There, in thy scanty mantle clad,
+ Thy snawy bosom sun-ward spread,
+ Thou lifts thy unassuming head
+ In humble guise;
+ But now the _share_ uptears thy bed,
+ And low thou lies!
+
+ Such is the fate of artless Maid,
+ Sweet _flow'ret_ of the rural shade!
+ By love's simplicity betray'd,
+ And guileless trust,
+ Till she, like thee, all soil'd, is laid
+ Low i' the dust.
+
+ Such is the fate of simple Bard,
+ On life's rough ocean luckless starr'd!
+ Unskilful he to note the card
+ Of _prudent lore_,
+ Till billows rage, and gales blow hard,
+ And whelm him o'er!
+
+ Such fate to _suffering worth_ is giv'n,
+ Who long with wants and woes has striv'n,
+ By human pride or cunning driv'n,
+ To mis'ry's brink,
+ Till wrench'd of ev'ry stay but _Heav'n_,
+ He, ruin'd, sink!
+
+ Ev'n thou who mourn'st the Daisy's fate,
+ _That fate is thine_--no distant date;
+ Stern Ruin's _plough-share_ drives, elate,
+ Full on thy bloom,
+ Till crush'd beneath the furrow's weight,
+ Shall be thy doom!

+ _LAMENT OF MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS._
+

+
+
+ Now Nature hangs her mantle green
+ On every blooming tree,
+ And spreads her sheets o' daisies white
+ Out o'er the grassy lea;
+ Now Phoebus cheers the crystal streams,
+ And glads the azure skies;
+ But nought can glad the weary wight
+ That fast in durance lies.
+
+ Now lav'rocks wake the merry morn,
+ Aloft on dewy wing;
+ The merle, in his noontide bow'r,
+ Makes woodland echoes ring;
+ The mavis mild wi' many a note,
+ Sings drowsy day to rest:
+ In love and freedom they rejoice,
+ Wi' care nor thrall opprest.
+
+ Now blooms the lily by the bank,
+ The primrose down the brae;
+ The hawthorn's budding in the glen,
+ And milk-white is the slae;

+ May rove their sweets amang;
+ But I, the Queen of a' Scotland,
+ Maun lie in prison strang.

+ Where happy I hae been;
+ Fu' lightly rase I in the morn,
+ As blythe lay down at e'en;

+ And mony a traitor there;
+ Yet here I lie in foreign Lands,
+ And never ending care.
+
+ But as for thee, thou false woman,
+ My sister and my fae,
+ Grim vengeance, yet, shall whet a sword
+ That thro' thy soul shall gae:

+ Upon thy fortune shine;
+ And may those pleasures gild thy reign,
+ That ne'er wad blink on mine!

+ And where thou meet'st thy mother's friend,
+ Remember him for me!
+
+ Oh! soon, to me, may summer-suns
+ Nae mair light up the morn!
+ Nae mair, to me, the autumn winds
+ Wave o'er the yellow corn!

+ Sweet is the Juniper, but sharpe his bough;
+ Sweet is the Eglantine, but pricketh nere;
+ Sweet is the Firbloom, but his branches rough;
+ Sweet is the Cypress, but his rind is tough,
+ Sweet is the Nut, but bitter is his pill;
+ Sweet is the Broome-flowere, but yet sowre enough;
+ And sweet is Moly, but his roote is ill.
+ So every sweet with sowre is tempred still,
+ That maketh it be coveted the more:
+ For easie things that may be got at will,
+ Most sorts of men doe set but little store.
+ Why then should I account of little pain,
+ That endless pleasure shall unto me gaine?

+ Who were but born
+ Just as the modest morn
+ Teemed her refreshing dew?
+ Alas! ye have not known that shower

+ Nor felt the unkind
+ Breath of a blasting wind;
+ Nor are ye worn with years;

+ Who think it strange to see
+ Such pretty flowers, like to orphans young,
+ Speaking by tears before ye have a tongue.
+
+ Speak, whimpering younglings, and make known
+ The reason why
+ Ye droop and weep.
+ Is it for want of sleep,
+ Or childish lullaby?
+ Or that ye have not seen as yet
+ The violet?
+ Or brought a kiss
+ From that sweetheart to this?
+ No, no; this sorrow shown

+ RADIANT sister of the day
+ Awake! arise! and come away!
+ To the wild woods and the plains,
+ To the pools where winter rains
+ Image all their roof of leaves,
+ Where the pine its garland weaves
+ Of sapless green, and ivy dun,
+ Round stems that never kiss the sun,
+ Where the lawns and pastures be
+ And the sandhills of the sea,
+ Where the melting hoar-frost wets
+ The daisy star that never sets,
+ And wind-flowers and violets
+ Which yet join not scent to hue
+ Crown the pale year weak and new:
+ When the night is left behind
+ In the deep east, dim and blind,
+ And the blue moon is over us,
+ And the multitudinous
+ Billows murmur at our feet,
+ Where the earth and ocean meet
+ And all things seem only one
+ In the universal sun.

+ _TO DAFFODILS._
+
+
+ FAIR Daffodils, we weep to see
+ You haste away so soon;
+ As yet, the early-rising sun
+ Has not attained its noon.
+ Stay, stay,
+ Until the hastening day
+ Has run
+ But to the even song;
+ And having prayed together, we
+ Will go with you along.
+
+ We have short time to stay as you,
+ We have as short a spring;
+ As quick a growth to meet decay,
+ As you or any thing.
+ We die,
+ As your hours do, and dry
+ Away,
+ Like to the summer's rain,
+ Or as the pearls of morning's dew,
+ Ne'er to be found again.

+ _CONSTANCY._
+
+ LAY a garland on my hearse
+ Of the dismal yew;
+ Maidens willow branches bear;
+ Say, _I died true_.
+ My love was false, but I was firm
+ From my hour of birth.
+ Upon my buried body lie
+ Lightly, gentle earth!

+ MOURN, ilka grove the cushat kens!
+ Ye haz'lly shaws and briery dens!
+ Ye burnies, wimplin down your glens,
+ Wi' toddlin din,
+ Or foaming strang, wi' hasty stens,
+ Frae lin to lin.
+
+ Mourn little harebells o'er the lee;
+ Ye stately foxgloves fair to see;
+ Ye woodbines hanging bonnilie,
+ In scented bow'rs;
+ Ye roses on your thorny tree,
+ The first o' flow'rs.
+
+ At dawn, when ev'ry grassy blade
+ Droops with a diamond at his head,
+ At ev'n, when beans their fragrance shed,
+ I' th' rustling gale,
+ Ye maukins whiddin thro' the glade,
+ Come join my wail.
+
+ Mourn, spring, thou darling of the year;
+ Ilk cowslip cup shall kep a tear;
+ Thou, simmer, while each corny spear
+ Shoots up its head,
+ Thy gay, green, flow'ry tresses shear,
+ For him that's dead!
+
+ Thou, autumn, wi' thy yellow hair,
+ In grief thy sallow mantle tear!
+ Thou, winter, hurling thro' the air
+ The roaring blast,
+ Wide o'er the naked world declare
+ The worth we've lost!

+
+ _TO THE SMALL CELANDINE._
+
+
+ Pansies, Lilies, King-cups, Daisies,
+ Let them live upon their praises;
+ Long as there's a sun that sets,
+ Primroses will have their glory;
+ Long as there are Violets,
+ They will have a place in story;
+ There's a flower that shall be mine,
+ 'Tis the little Celandine.
+
+ Ere a leaf is on the bush,
+ In the time before the thrush
+ Has a thought about her nest,
+ Thou wilt come with half a call,
+ Spreading out thy glossy breast
+ Like a careless prodigal;
+ Telling tales about the sun,
+ When we've little warmth, or none.
+
+ Comfort have thou of thy merit,
+ Kindly unassuming spirit!
+ Careless of thy neighbourhood,
+ Thou dost show thy pleasant face
+ On the moor, and in the wood,
+ In the lane--there's not a place,
+ Howsoever mean it be,
+ But 'tis good enough for thee.
+
+ Ill befall the yellow flowers,
+ Children of the flaring hours!
+ Buttercups that will be seen,
+ Whether we will see or no;
+ Others, too, of lofty mien,
+ They have done as worldlings do,
+ Taken praise that should be thine,
+ Little, humble Celandine!
+
+ Prophet of delight and mirth,
+ Ill requited upon earth;
+ Herald of a mighty band,
+ Of a joyous train ensuing,
+ Serving at my heart's command,
+ Tasks that are no tasks renewing;
+ I will sing, as doth behove,
+ Hymns in praise of what I love!

+
+
+ _TO BLOSSOMS._
+
+
+ Fair pledges of a fruitful tree,
+ Why do ye fall so fast?
+ Your date is not so past,
+ But you may stay yet here awhile
+ To blush and gently smile,
+ And go at last.
+
+ What, were you born to be,
+ An hour or half's delight,
+ And so to bid good-night?
+ 'Twas pity Nature brought ye forth,
+ Merely to show your worth
+ And lose you quite.
+
+ But you are lovely leaves, where we
+ May read, how soon things have
+ Their end, though ne'er so brave;
+ And after they have shown their pride,
+ Like you, awhile, they glide
+ Into the grave.
+
+ HERRICK.
+
+
+
+
+ _THE LILY AND THE ROSE._
+
+ THE nymph must lose her female friend,
+ If more admired than she--
+ But where will fierce contention end,
+ If flowers can disagree.
+
+ Within the garden's peaceful scene
+ Appear'd two lovely foes,
+ Aspiring to the rank of queen,
+ The Lily and the Rose.
+
+ The Rose soon redden'd into rage,
+ And, swelling with disdain,
+ Appeal'd to many a poet's page
+ To prove her right to reign.
+
+ The Lily's height bespoke command,
+ A fair imperial flower;
+ She seem'd designed for Flora's hand,
+ The sceptre of her power.
+
+ This civil bick'ring and debate
+ The goddess chanced to hear,
+ And flew to save, ere yet too late,
+ The pride of the parterre.
+
+ Yours is, she said, the nobler hue,
+ And yours the statelier mien;
+ And, till a third surpasses you,
+ Let each be deemed a queen.
+
+ Thus, soothed and reconciled, each seeks
+ The fairest British fair:
+ The seat of empire is her cheeks,
+ They reign united there.
+
+ COWPER.
+
+
+
+
+ _THE WALL-FLOWER._
+
+
+ WHY this flower is now called so,
+ List, sweet maids, and you shall know.
+ Understand this firstling was
+ Once a brisk and bonny lass,
+ Kept as close as Danae was,
+ Who a sprightly springald loved;
+ And to have it fully proved,
+ Up she got upon a wall,
+ 'Tempting down to slide withal;
+ But the silken twist untied,
+ So she fell, and, bruised, she died.
+ Jove, in pity of the deed,
+ And her loving, luckless speed,
+ Turn'd her to this plant we call
+ Now "the flower of the wall."
+
+ HERRICK.
+
+
+
+
+ _THE PRIMROSE._
+
+
+ ASK me why I send you here,
+ This firstling of the infant year;
+ Ask me why I send to you
+ This Primrose all bepearled with dew;
+ I straight will whisper in your ears,
+ The sweets of love are washed with tears.
+
+ Ask me why this flower doth show
+ So yellow, green, and sickly too;
+ Ask me why the stalk is weak
+ And bending, yet it doth not break;
+ I must tell you, these discover
+ What doubts and fears are in a lover.
+
+ CAREW.
+
+
+
+
+ _ADONIS SLEEPING,_
+
+ IN midst of all, there lay a sleeping youth
+ Of fondest beauty. Sideway his face reposed
+ On one white arm, and tenderly unclosed,
+ By tenderest pressure, a faint damask mouth
+ To slumbery pout; just as the morning south
+ Disparts a dew-lipp'd rose. Above his head,
+ Four lily stalks did their white honours wed
+ To make a coronal; and round him grew
+ All tendrils green, of every bloom and hue,
+ Together intertwined and trammel'd fresh:
+ The vine of glossy sprout; the ivy mesh,
+ Shading its Ethiop berries; and woodbine,
+ Of velvet leaves, and bugle blooms divine.
+ Hard by,
+ Stood serene Cupids watching silently.
+ One, kneeling to a lyre, touch'd the strings,
+ Muffling to death the pathos with his wings;
+ And, ever and anon, uprose to look
+ At the youth's slumber; while another took
+ A willow bough, distilling odorous dew,
+ And shook it on his hair; another flew
+ In through the woven roof, and fluttering-wise,
+ Rain'd violets upon his sleeping eyes.
+
+ KEATS.
+
+
+
+
+ MODONNA, wherefore hast thou sent to me
+ Sweet Basil and Mignonette,
+ Embleming love and health, which never yet
+ In the same wreath might be.
+ Alas, and they are wet!
+ Is it with thy kisses or thy tears?
+ For never rain or dew
+ Such fragrance drew
+ From plant or flower; the very doubt endears
+ My sadness ever new,
+ The sighs I breathe, the tears I shed, for thee.
+
+ P. B. SHELLEY.
+
+
+
+
+ THERE grew pied Wind-flowers and Violets,
+ Daisies, those pearl'd Arcturi of the earth,
+ The constellated flowers that never set;
+ Faint Oxlips; tender Blue-bells, at whose birth
+ The sod scarce heaved; and that tall flower that wets
+ Its mother's face with Heaven-collected tears,
+ When the low wind, its playmate's voice, it hears.
+
+ And in the warm hedge grew lush Eglantine,
+ Green Cow-bind and the moonlight-colour'd May
+ And cherry blossoms, and white cups, whose wine
+ Was the bright dew yet drained not by the day;
+ And Wild Roses, and Ivy serpentine
+ With its dark buds and leaves, wandering astray,
+ And flowers azure, black, and streaked with gold,
+ Fairer than any wakened eyes behold.
+
+ And nearer to the river's trembling edge
+ There grew broad flag-flowers, purple prankt with white,
+ And starry river buds among the sedge,
+ And floating Water-lilies, broad and bright,
+ Which lit the oak that overhung the hedge
+ With moonlight beams of their own watery light;
+ And bulrushes, and reeds of such deep green
+ As soothed the dazzled eye with sober sheen.
+
+ P. B. SHELLEY.
+
+
+
+
+ FADE, Flow'rs! fade, Nature will have it so;
+ 'Tis but what we must in our autumn do!
+ And as your leaves lie quiet on the ground,
+ The loss alone by those that lov'd them found;
+ So in the grave shall we as quiet lie,
+ Miss'd by some few that lov'd our company;
+ But some so like to thorns and nettles live,
+ That none for them can, when they perish, grieve.
+
+ WALLER.
+
+
+
+
+ _ARRANGEMENT OF A BOUQUET._
+
+
+ HERE damask Roses, white and red,
+ Out of my lap first take I,
+ Which still shall run along the thread,
+ My chiefest flower this make I.
+
+ Amongst these Roses in a row,
+ Next place I Pinks in plenty,
+ These double Pansies then for show;
+ And will not this be dainty?
+
+ The pretty Pansy then I'll tie,
+ Like stones some chain inchasing;
+ And next to them, their near ally,
+ The purple Violet placing.
+
+ The curious choice clove July flower,
+ Whose kind hight the Carnation,
+ For sweetnest of most sovereign power,
+ Shall help my wreath to fashion;
+
+ Whose sundry colours of one kind,
+ First from one root derived,
+ Them in their several suits I'll bind:
+ My garland so contrived.
+
+ A course of Cowslips then I'll stick,
+ And here and there (though sparely)
+ The pleasant Primrose down I'll prick,
+ Like pearls that will show rarely;
+
+ Then with these Marigolds I'll make
+ My garland somewhat swelling,
+ These Honeysuckles then I'll take,
+ Whose sweets shall help their smelling.
+
+ The Lily and the Fleur-de-lis,
+ For colour much contending;
+ For that I them do only prize,
+ They are but poor in scenting.
+
+ The Daffodil most dainty is,
+ To match with these in meetness;
+ The Columbine compared to this,
+ All much alike for sweetness.
+
+ These in their natures only are
+ Fit to emboss the border.
+ Therefore I'll take especial care
+ To place them in their order:
+
+ Sweet-williams, Campions, Sops-in-wine,
+ One by another neatly;
+ Thus have I made this wreath of mine,
+ And finished it featly.
+
+ NICHOLAS DRAYTON.
+
+
+
+
+ _THE CHERRY._
+
+
+ THERE is a garden in her face,
+ Where roses and white lilies grow;
+ A heavenly paradise is that place,
+ Wherein all pleasant fruits do grow;
+ There cherries grow that none may buy
+ Till cherry ripe themselves do cry.
+
+ Those cherries fairly do enclose
+ Of orient pearl a double row,
+ Which, when her lovely laughter shows,
+ They look like rosebuds fill'd with snow;
+ Yet them no peer nor prince may buy
+ Till cherry ripe themselves do cry.
+
+ Her eyes like angels watch them still,
+ Her brows like bended bows do stand,
+ Threatening with piercing frowns to kill
+ All that approach with eye or hand
+ These sacred cherries to come nigh,
+ Till cherry ripe themselves do cry.
+

+
+
+
+
+ _THE GARLAND._
+
+
+ THE pride of every grove I chose,
+ The violet sweet and lily fair,
+ The dappled pink and blushing rose,
+ To deck my charming Cloe's hair.
+
+ At morn the nymph vouchaf'd to place
+ Upon her brow the various wreath;
+ The flowers less blooming than her face,
+ The scent less fragrant than her breath.
+
+ The flowers she wore along the day;
+ And every nymph and shepherd said,
+ That in her hair they look'd more gay
+ Than glowing in their native bed.
+
+ Undrest, at ev'ning, when she found
+ Their odours lost, their colours past;
+ She chang'd her look, and on the ground
+ Her garland and her eye she cast.
+
+ That eye dropt sense distinct and clear,
+ As any muse's tongue could speak,
+ When from its lid a pearly tear
+ Ran trickling down her beauteous cheek.
+
+ Dissembling what I knew too well;
+ My love! my life! said I, explain
+ This change of humour; pray thee tell:
+ That falling tear.--What does it mean?
+
+ She sigh'd, she smil'd; and to the flowers
+ Pointing, the lovely moralist said:
+ See! friend, in some few fleeting hours,
+ See yonder, what a change is made!
+
+ Ah me! the blooming pride of May,
+ And that of beauty are but one:
+ At morn both flourish bright and gay,
+ Both fade at ev'ning, pale, and gone!
+
+ At dawn poor Stella danc'd and sung;
+ The am'rous youth around her bow'd;
+ At night her fatal knell was rung!
+ I saw and kiss'd her in her shroud;
+
+ Such as she is, who dy'd to-day,
+ Such I, alas! may be to-morrow;
+ Go, Damon, bid thy muse display
+ The justice of thy Cloe's sorrow.
+
+ PRIOR.
+
+
+
+
+ _TO THE VIRGINS, TO MAKE
+
+ MUCH OF TIME._
+
+
+ GATHER ye rose-buds while ye may:
+ Old Time is still a-flying;
+ And this same flower that smiles to-day,
+ To-morrow will be dying.
+
+ The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun,
+ The higher he's a-getting,
+ The sooner will his race be run,
+ And nearer he's to setting.
+
+ That age is best, which is the first,
+ When youth and blood are warmer;
+ But being spent, the worse and worst
+ Times will succeed the former.
+
+ --Then be not coy, but use your time,
+ And while ye may, go marry;
+ For having lost but once your prime,
+ You may for ever tarry.
+
+ ROBERT HERRICK.

+
+ _SONG OF MAY MORNING._
+
+
+ NOW the bright morning-star, day's harbinger,
+ Comes dancing from the east, and leads with her
+ The flowery May, who from her green lap throws
+ The yellow cowslip, and the pale primrose.
+ Hail, bounteous May, that dost inspire
+ Mirth, and youth, and warm desire;
+ Woods and groves are of thy dressing,
+ Hill and dale doth boast thy blessing.
+ Thus we salute thee with our early song,
+ And welcome thee, and wish thee long.
+
+ MILTON.
+
+
+
+
+ AMONG the myrtles as I walk'd,
+ Love and my Sight thus intertalk'd:
+ Tell me, said I, in deep distress,
+ Where I may find my Shepherdess?
+ --Thou Fool, said Love, know'st thou not this?
+ In everything that's sweet she is.
+ In yon'd Carnation go and seek,
+ There thou shalt find her lips and cheek;
+ In that enamell'd Pansy by,
+ There thou shalt have her curious eye;
+ In bloom of Peach and Rose's bud
+ There waves the streamer of her blood.
+ --'Tis true, said I; and thereupon
+ I went to pluck them one by one,
+ To make of parts an union;
+ But on a sudden all were gone.
+ At which I stopp'd; said Love, these be
+ The true resemblance of Thee;
+ For as these Flowers, thy joys must die;
+ And in the turning of an eye;
+ And all thy hopes of her must wither,
+ Like those short sweets here knit together.

+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4

+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit:

+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
