There is a hill beside the silver Thames, Shady with birch and beech and odorous pine; And brilliant underfoot with thousand gems, Steeply the thickets to his floods decline. - [Thames River] Thick on the woodland floor Gay company shall be, Primrose and Hyacinth And frail Anemone, Perennial Strawberry-bloom, Woodsorrel's pencilled veil, Dishevel'd Willow-weed And Orchis purple and pale. - Idle Flowers [Flowers] Were I a cloud I'd gather My skirts up in the air, And fly well know whither, And rest I well know where. - Elegy--The Cliff Top--A Cloud [Clouds] I have loved flowers that fade, Within those magic tents Rich hues have marriage made With sweet unmemoried scents. - Shorter Poets (bk. II, 13) [Flowers] And whiter grows the foam, The small moon lightens more; And as I turn me home, My shadow walks before. - The Clouds have left the Sky [Evening]
