I SET apart a day for wandering;
I heard the woodlands ring,
The hidden white-throat sing,
And the harmonic West,
Beyond a far hill-crest,
Touch its Aeolian string.
The iron tongue of Trade,
I followed the clear calling of a
wren3
Where interwoven branches spread a shade
Of soft cool beryl like the evening seas
Unruffled by the breeze.
And there—and there—
I watched the maiden-hair,
The pale blue iris-grass,
The water-spider in its pause and pass
Upon a pool that like a mirror was.
I took for confidant
Threading the clover and the sorrel
aisles7;
For me were all the smiles
I drank the ripe rich attars
blurred11 and blent,
And won—Content!
