Upon that queen the wealth of the world hath clad,

He who has seen a great oak dry and dead,
Bearing some trophy as an ornament,
Whose roots from earth are almost rent,
Though to the heavens it still lifts its head;
More than half-bowed towards its final bed,
Showing its naked boughs and fibres bent,
While, leafless now, its heavy crown is leant
Support by a gnarled trunk, its sap long bled;
And though at the first strong wind it must fall,
And many young oaks are rooted within call,
Alone among the devout
populace
is revered:
Who such an oak has seen, let him consider,
That, among cities which have flourished here,
This old honoured dust was the most honoured.

Humble, in trembling, my love I phrase,
For there is no lover as

As I to you, Lady, through this world's extent.

our evil destiny.

Of sunless dry geraniums
And dust in crevices,
Smells of chestnuts in the streets
And female smells in shuttered rooms
And

in corridors
And cocktail smells in bars.

as food to life,
Or as sweet-season'd showers are to the ground;
And for the peace of you I hold such strife
As 'twixt a miser and his wealth is found.

sugar, and be welcome all summer long.

Wrapped in the black shroud of this bitter night:
His
children
are so little, there is none
To give him aid.
