Of the delicate flowers
In your lush garden.

The invisible worm,
That flies in the night
In the howling storm:

Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy:
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy.

Been parted by the hurrying world, and droop,
Sick of its business, of its pleasures tired,
How gracious, how benign, is Solitude.

The Rainbow

My heart leaps up when I behold
A Rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began;
So is it now I am a Man;
So be it when I shall grow old,
Or let me die!
The Child is Father of the Man;
And I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.

A visitant that while it fans my cheek
Doth seem half-conscious of the joy it brings
From the green fields, and from yon azure sky.

Out of the sludge of bleakness
Into beauty rise.

From Nature Doth Emotion Come

From Nature doth emotion come, and moods
Of calmness equally are Nature's gift:
This is her glory; these two attributes
Are sister horns that constitute her strength.

How Like A Dewdrop

How like a dewdrop
Is this life, briefly sparkling,
Swiftly vanishing.

Winter kept us warm, covering
Earth in forgetful snow, feeding
A little life with dried tubers.

Her floral scent and her ambrosial juice
With bliss will fill you and vitality.

To fragrant joys I once with Joy enjoyed.
