but will never return
left their trace on a wave-
A Silly Song

His mate the blackbird calling,
While through the sheen of the garden green
May rain was softly falling,--
Aye softly, softly falling.

The world is growing green.
Along the winding river
The plumey willows lean.

And evil-speaking shall part.
A Wreath Of Sonnets (9/14)

The humble blooms on my Parnassus grown;
My tears of love flowed not for you alone,
But also for the land I hold so dear.

Whose shadow no sunray flaws,
When Autumn sits in the wayside weeds
Telling her beads

And our watchword Liberty,
And our kingdom lifted high above the years.

And Brighton and Bulgaria,
Thus violating Belgian neutrality.
