[Give me a roof where Wisdom dwells]

[Here have I learnt the little that I know]

[My northern blood exults to face]

[For where, beneath one's parent sky]

THE PASSING OF SPRING

THE FALLEN ELM

A TWILIGHT SONG

[‘If you were mine, if you were mine]

[When June is wreathed with wilding rose]

['Tis because, though in dusky bower]

[‘Were I a Poet, I would dwell]

[When the reaper lays the sickle by]

[Beyond the pasture's withered bents]

[Give me October's meditative haze]

TO THE AUTUMN WIND

[Why should I, from this long and losing strife]
