"Here and there a cloud is floating, White and fair as a nun in prayer."
"Childhoods the souls first gala-day."
"But "God was still behind the skies," As stricken Agatha once had said, And He anoints the aiming spear Of grief, and blesses the bowing head."
"The loveless are the unblest, Frosts transfix their grief, Like a wreck on a reef."
"While the butter-cups toss golden heads, Consequential bees alight, Upon the downy saffron beds Of the dandelion, Fit for kings to lie on;There, a lazy butterfly, Like a thing adrift from Eden, While saucy insects flutter by In a busy throng, Slowly sails along."
