Spring QuietGone were but the Winter, Come were but the Spring, I would go to a covert Where the birds sing;Where in the whitethorn Singeth a thrush, And a robin sings In the holly-bush.Full of fresh scents Are the budding boughs Arching high over A cool green house:Full of sweet scents, And whispering air Which sayeth softly: ‘We spread no snare;‘Here dwell in safety, Here dwell alone, With a clear stream And a mossy stone. ‘Here the sun shineth Most shadily; Here is heard an echo Of the far sea, Though far off it be.’

The Prince’s Progress, and Other Poems, 1866
