Stran 394 - ... mong myrtles, What time thou wanderest at eventide Through sunny meadows, that outskirt the side Of thine enmossed realms : O thou, to whom...
Stran 342 - I do love these ancient ruins. We never tread upon them but we set Our foot upon some reverend history; And, questionless, here in this open court, Which now lies naked to the injuries Of stormy weather, some men lie...
Stran 394 - And gather up all fancifullest shells For thee to tumble into Naiads' cells, And, being hidden, laugh at their out-peeping ; Or to delight thee with fantastic leaping, The while they pelt each other on the crown...
Stran 15 - ... the little keen bright eye fixed on the window ; then they would stop for two pecks ; then stay till they were satisfied. The shyer birds, tamed by their example, came next ; and at last one saucy fellow of a blackbird — a sad glutton, he would clear the board in two minutes, — used to tap his yellow bill against the window for more.
Stran 209 - Farmer Creswell; a beautiful child lay on the ground at some little distance, whilst a young girl, resting from the labour of reaping, was twisting a rustic wreath of enamelled corn-flowers, brilliant poppies, snow-white lily-bines, and light fragile harebells, mingled with tufts of the richest wheat-ears, around its hat.

The atmosphere was deliciously calm; soft, even mild, in spite of the thermometer; no perceptible air, but a...
Stran 13 - At noon to-day I and my white greyhound, May-flower, set out for a walk into a very beautiful world, — a sort of silent fairy-land,— a creation of that matchless magician the hoar-frost. There had been just snow enough to cover the earth and all its...
