Home Links Nature, the gentlest mother Will there really be a morning? At half-past three a single bird The day came slow, till five o’clock The sun just touched the morning The robin is the one From cocoon forth a butterfly Before you thought of spring Whose are the little beds, I asked Pigmy seraphs gone astray To hear an oriole sing One of the ones that Midas touched Sklep z klockami LEGO LEGO Sklep

“Whose are the little beds,” I asked, “Which in the valleys lie?” Some shook their heads, and others smiled, And no one made reply. “Perhaps they did not hear,” I said; “I will inquire again.

Epigea wakens! The crocus stirs her lids, Rhodora’s cheek is crimson,— She’s dreaming of the woods.” Then, turning from them, reverent, “Their bed-time ’t is,” she said; “The bumble-bees will wake them When April woods are red.”
