In dim recesses hyacinths droopd, And breadths of primrose lit the air, Which, wandering through the woodland, stoopd And gatherd perfumes here and there Upon the spray the squirrel swung, And careless songsters, six or seven, Sang lofty songs the leaves among, Fit for their only listener, Heaven. Nidle poet, here and there, A Looks round him but, for all the rest, The world, unfathomably fair, Is duller than a witlings jest. Love wakes men, once a lifetime each They lift their heavy lids, and look And, 10, what one sweet page can teach They read with joy, then shut the book. . And some give thanks, and some blaspheme, And most forget but, either way, That and the Childs unheeded dream IS all the light of all their day.
