СКАЧАТЬ on the winter continence of men.

      I saw her pass to-day

      In Warwickshire,

      With the old imperial way,

      The old desire,

      Fresh as among those other flowers they went,

      More beautiful for Adon’s discontent.

      Those other years she made

      Her festival

      When the blue eggs were laid

      And lambs were tall,

      By the Athenian rivers while the reeds

      Made love melodious for the Ganymedes.

      And now through Cantlow brakes,

      By Wilmcote hill,

      To Avon-side, she makes

      Her garlands still,

      And I who watch her flashing limbs am one

      With youth whose days three thousand years are done.

COTSWOLD LOVE

       Table of Contents

      Blue skies are over Cotswold

      And April snows go by,

      The lasses turn their ribbons

      For April’s in the sky,

      And April is the season

      When Sabbath girls are dressed,

      From Rodboro’ to Campden,

      In all their silken best.

      An ankle is a marvel

      When first the buds are brown,

      And not a lass but knows it

      From Stow to Gloucester town.

      And not a girl goes walking

      Along the Cotswold lanes

      But knows men’s eyes in April

      Are quicker than their brains.

      It’s little that it matters,

      So long as you’re alive,

      If you’re eighteen in April,

      Or rising sixty-five,

      When April comes to Amberley

      With skies of April blue,

      And Cotswold girls are briding

      With slyly tilted shoe.

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
