Dear common flower, that grow'st beside the way Fringing the dusty road with harmless gold, first pledge of blithesome May, Which children pluck, and, full of pride up­ hold, High-hearted bucannaneers, o'erjoyed what they - . An Eldorado in the grassy have found, - Which not the rich earth's ample round May match in wealth, thou art more dear to me Than .all the prouder summer-blooms may be Not in mid June the golden-cuirassed bee Feels a more summer-like warm ravishment In the white lily's breezy tent This fragrant Sybaris, than I when first From the dark green thy yellow circles burst. My childhood's earliest thoughts are linked with these; The sight of thee calls back the robin's song, Who from the dark old tree '• Beside the door, sang clearly all day long, And I, secure in childish piety, Listened as if I hejird an angel sing, With news from heaven which I could bring Fresh every day to my untainted ears When birds and fiowei*s and I were happy peers.
