Seite 95 - Dagonet, one of thy long asses' ears, And harken if my music be not true. ' " Free love — free field — we love but while we may : The woods are hush'd, their music is no more : The leaf is dead, the yearning past away : New leaf, new life — the days of frost are o'er : New life, new love, to suit the newer day : New loves are sweet as those that went before : Free love — free field — wo love but while we may.
Seite 88 - The blossom'd thorn-tree and her sleeping lover. Nine times she waved the fluttering wimple round, And made a little plot of magic ground. And in that daisied circle, as men say, Is Merlin prisoner till the judgment-day ; But she herself whither she will can rove — For she was passing weary of his love.
Seite 32 - Ouer alle that is or was, if men it sayd as made Thomas; But I here it no man so say, pat of som copple som is away...
Seite 109 - And the green hardened into iron blue, And the soft light went out of all its face. Then Tristram girt him for an oarsman's place And took his oar and smote, and toiled with might In the east wind's full face and the strong sea's spite Labouring ; and all the rowers rowed hard, but he More mightily than any wearier three.
