L'oiseau bleu

1The Lake lay blue below the hill.

2 O'er it, as I looked, there flew

3Across the waters, cold and still,

4 A bird whose wings were palest blue.

5The sky above was blue at last,

6 The sky beneath me blue in blue.

7A moment, ere the bird had passed,

8 It caught his image as he flew.

SUMMER'S FAREWELL.

WHAT sound is that? 'Tis Summer's farewell,

In the breath of the night-wind sighing;

The chill breeze comes like a sorrowful dirge,

That wails o'er the dead and the dying.

The sapless leaves are eddying round,

On the path which they lately shaded:

The oak of the forest is losing its robe;

The flowers have fallen and faded.

All that I look on but saddens my heart,

To think that the lovely so soon should depart.

Yet why should I sigh? Other summers will come

Joys like the past one bringing:

Again will the vine bear its blushing fruit;

Again will the birds singing.

The forest will put forth its “honours" again;

The rose be as sweet in its breathing;

The woodbine will climb round the lattice pane,

As wild and rich in it’s wreathing.

The hives will have honey, the bees will hum;

Other flowers will spring, other summers will come!

They will, they will; but ah! Who can tell

Whether I may live on till their coming?

This spirit may sleep too soundly then

To wake with the warbling or humming.

This cheek, now pale, may be paler far,

When the summer sun next is glowing;

The cherishing ray may gild with light

The grass on my grave -turf growing.

Oh! What a change in my spirit's dream

May there be ere the summer sun next shall "beam”.

Bonus Poem:

The Shadows

BOUGHS of the pine and stars between,

In woods where shadows fill the air,

Oh, who may rest that once has been

A shadow there?

Sounds of the night and tears between,

The grey owl hooting, dimly heard;

Can footsteps reach those lands unseen,

Or wings of bird?

Days of the years and worlds between,

Still through the boughs the stars may burn,

The heart may break for lands unseen,

For woods wherein its life has been,

But not return.
