Used to be fattered and admired and tended
To lie on ladies' bosons, or be set
Like Jewels In the gold OF ladies' hair;
Flowers of ilustriuus lineage having names
Ennobled Rnciently by lyric breath
Able to dover with added sweet the rose;
Proud race, too well aware of your own beauty,
30 many singers In so many songs
Have told you Of It, nor shall tire to tell
Oh, simple blooms, that think no scOrn TO live
In l0wly places. field, and lane and brookside,
And yet are ricl-in natures care are rich
Rich In warm nearness TO her beating bosom,
Rich In your noble poverty, most rich
That sink into mans heart. and soften i'll
oh, wdlings Of the pallid sands forlOrn.
Eyn ~ the sands that bore you. and scentless;
Withess OF ndulati0n and cnresses
OF dim shade wltless and the grooming brooks;
Crown'd with the silence of the weird pale desert;
Sprung where the salt wind brings the only odor;
Born Of the gray, waste, melancholy dunes
Beside our melancholy waste. gray sea!
Oh, tempest nuttered, cloud familiar blossoms,
That blow nivll half way up some AlNs gaunt side,
And ever see like patient intercessors
Betwixt his vast wrath and the abject wales;
His ministers Of peace aud reconcilement
with gentleat might OF loves inyincible sweetness
Oh, all fair flowers about the b0omy world,
Ope eyes Of homage to my throned flower,
Lift lids OF wonder at my crowned flower.
AbaAe your hearts before my great queen howerl
And like q mighty empress shall she take you.
And make you maids OF honor In her palace,
Your lives shall wax at morn and shrink at eve-
0irt with the lustre Of her courts Of pleasance,
And laughter OF her hundred. throated fountains,
And tren,or Of enchanted bows that echo
With rapturous thr0sts of summer all the yearl

From 81. Nicholas,

I'm going to the garden
Where summer roses blow;

or all the bowers that growl
Ill make her body OF lilies,
Because they're soft and white:
I'll make her eyes Of violets,
With dewdrops shining bright;
I'll make her lips Of rosebuda:
Her cheeks Of rose ieaves-red.
Her hair Of silky corn tops
All braided round her head;
With apple tree and pear leaves
I'll make her lovely gown.
With rows Of golden bnttercups
For buttons, up and down.
III dance with my little sister
Away to the river strand
Away across the water
Away into fairy land.
