Unnamed, unknown:--his hands across his breast
Set in sepulchral rest,
...
1700-1702
Oft in midnight visions
Ghostly by my bed

Through sapling shades of summer green,
By glade and height and hollow,
...
As when the snowdrop from the snowy ground
Lifting a maiden face, foretells the flowers
That lurk and listen, till the chaffinch sound
...
The fair-hair'd boy is at his mother's knee,
A many-colour'd page before them spread,
Gay summer harvest-field of gold and red,
...
August 4: 1265
Earl Simon on the Abbey tower
In summer sunshine stood,

September: 1643
Sweet air and fresh; glades yet unsear'd by hand
Of Midas-finger'd Autumn, massy-green;

IN the season of white wild roses
We two went hand in hand:
But now in the ruddy autumn
Together already we stand.
...
September: 1588
Let them come, come never so proudly,
O'er the green waves as giants ride;
...
Old if this England be
The Ship at heart is sound,
And the fairest she and gallantest
That ever sail'd earth round!
