Alas! how little can a moment show
Of an eye where feeling plays
In ten thousand dewy rays:
A face o’er which a thousand shadows go!

The Triad.

5102

Stern Winter loves a dirge-like sound.

The bosom-weight, your stubborn gift,
That no philosophy can lift.

Myriads of daisies have shone forth in flower
Near the lark’s nest, and in their natural hour
Have passed away; less happy than the one
That by the unwilling ploughshare died to prove
The tender charm of poetry and love.

Poems composed during a Tour in the Summer of 1833.xxxvii.

Of humblest friends, bright creature! scorn not one:
The daisy, by the shadow that it casts,
Protects the lingering dewdrop from the sun.

5107

Since every mortal power of Coleridge
Was frozen at its marvellous source,
The rapt one, of the godlike forehead,
The heaven-eyed creature sleeps in earth:
And Lamb, the frolic and the gentle,
Has vanished from his lonely hearth.

Extempore Effusion upon the Death of James Hogg.

How fast has brother followed brother,
From sunshine to the sunless land!

Extempore Effusion upon the Death of James Hogg.

5109

Those old credulities, to Nature dear,
Shall they no longer bloom upon the stock
Of history?

Memorials of a Tour in Italy. iv.
