“Kiss and cling to them, kiss and leave them,
Bright and beguiling:”
Bright and beguiling, as She who glances
Along the shore and the meadows along,
And sings for heart's delight, and dances
Crowned with apples, and ruddy, and strong:—
Can we see thee, and not remember
Thy sun-brown cheek and hair sun-golden,
O sweet September?
The Golden Land
“A thousand forms and passions glow
Upon the world-wide canvas.”
The Ancient And Modern Muses
Kontext: A thousand forms and passions glow
Upon the world-wide canvas. So
With larger scope our art we ply;
And if the crown be harder won,
Diviner rays around it run,
With strains of fuller harmony.
