LAME and flower and the blue, ⁠While a breath from far Eden blows, And the old earth born anew, ⁠And the east a bursting rose. Music of birds and bees, ⁠Wild and full as the Dorian mood, The whir of the wing, and the breeze ⁠Bringing the spice of the wood. Dear the dreams of the night, ⁠And sweet are the hours that are gone. But sweeter the hour in its flight ⁠Of a dew-drenched summer dawn!
