And she not known what they were doing.
Foolish it had been and unkind
That they should see and she be blind.

Some keep the Sabbath going to Church -
I keep it, staying at Home -
With a Bobolink for a Chorister -
And an Orchard, for a Dome -
A Welcome To Lowell

Take our hands, James Russell Lowell,
Our hearts are all thy own;
To-day we bid thee welcome
Not for ourselves alone.
Agro-Dolce

One kiss from all others prevents me,
And sets all my pulses astir,
And burns on my lips and torments me:
'Tis the kiss that I fain would give her.

A wink from Hesper, falling
Fast in the wintry sky,

By Hengist's horde unfurled,
AN ELEGY Upon the L. Bishop of London John King

Sad Relick of a blessed Soul! whose trust
We sealed up in this religious dust.

As the cheap arguments of our neglect.
A Warning

When wit contrives to meet with thee,
No such rank poyson can there be.

Harried with thoughts of war and lists of dead,
His beauty met me like a fresh wind blowing,
Clean boyish beauty and high-held head.

An auto going south, and words in a room,
And outside, pink of May, white of June, brown of September,
white of December.
