Sivu 139 - A GREEN and silent spot, amid the hills, A small and silent dell ! O'er stiller place No singing sky-lark ever poised himself. The hills are heathy, save that swelling slope, Which hath a gay and gorgeous covering on, All golden with the never-bloomless furze, Which now blooms most profusely : but the dell, Bathed by the mist, is fresh and delicate As vernal corn-field, or the unripe flax...
Sivu 184 - And in my simple mind we cannot tell What cause the Hart might have to love this place, And come and make his death-bed near the well. 'Here on the grass perhaps asleep he sank, Lulled by...
