58 Till a mighty lagoon spread waste and wide To the feet of the brown hills far withdrawn, And in tawny furrows the swinging tide Lashed round the elm on the flooded lawn ; Then seawards and earthwards delved and died, And left a wilderness dank and drear ; Where Nature deep in her breast might hide The unbought wealth of the coming year. But in Spring— oh, who should paint the gleam — ('Neath the rampart of woodlands fleck'd and pale) Of the steel-blue scimitar of the stream That cuts the pur...e sward of the virgin vale. When fruit-blossoms smile through the sunny showers, Or strew the wet grass with a crimson pall, And a thousand towers of its milk-white flowers Built up the bright mosque of the chestnut tall. 59 And in Summer, - at dawn — when cool mists grey That veiled the broad Thames with a fairy grace, By the full fierce sunbeams are purged away From the burnished brass of his breathless face. And in one still mirror the Abbey sleeps, And the branching limes, and the poplars tall.
