Excerpt from The Preludes: A Collection of Poems
The Poet's Dream.
I Dreamt I wander'd in a fairy bower.
Jewell'd with all the painted things that grow,
And, on my way, full many a queenly flower
I pass'd, but heeded not for all its glow.
So many beauties gather'd in that spot,
My aching sense grew dull, and, gazing, I saw not.
I turn'd me from them, languid and oppress'd:
And, from the dazzling splendor of the sight
Seeking relief, my eye at last did rest
Upon a rose-bush, autumn rifled quite
Of all its summer glories - all, save one -
One virgin, ling'ring bud, that blush'd there all alone.
It blush'd there all alone, 'mid em'rald sheen
Hid like a violet; its conscious pride,
Half check'd for youthful shame at being seen,
With tinge of maiden coyness deep had dyed
Those fair lips, demi-parted to receive
The farewell kiss of Sol, - the tears of dewy eve.
