Ah! there's a house that I do know Besouth o' yonder trees, Where northern winds can hardly blow But in a softest breeze. An' there woonce sounded zongs an' teäles Vrom vaïce o' maïd or youth, An' sweeter than the nightèngeäle's Above the copses lewth. How swiftly there did run the brooks, How swift wer winds in flight, How swiftly to their roost the rooks Did vlee o'er head at night. Though slow did seem to us the peäce O' comèn days a-head, That now do seem as in a reäce Wi' aïr-birds to ha' vled. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SAPPHIC SUICIDE NOTE by JAMES GALVIN MATER AMABILIS by EMMA LAZARUS BONNYBELL: THE BUTTERFLY by EDGAR LEE MASTERS APPELLATE JURISDICTION by MARIANNE MOORE THE PAST IS THE PRESENT (2) by MARIANNE MOORE OCTAVES: 8 by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON |
