Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Last Poems of Richard Watson Dixon D.D: Late Hon. Canon of Carlisle and Vicar of Warworth Hundreds of years hence, if but one song were left out of the many songs of every poet who has made our age musical, which of them all would be thought the sweetest? How would they compare with the songs of an earlier generation? It would be hard to find among the lyrics of our own time - or indeed of Shelley´s - one more exquisite than this: ´The feathers of the willow Are half of them grown yellow Above the swelling stream; And ragged are the bushes, And rusty now the rushes, And wild the clouded gleam. ´The thistle now is older, His stalk begins to moulder, His head is white as snow; The branches all are barer, The linnet´s song is rarer, The robin pipeth now.´ Among the many woods and forests of Victorians - nay, among those of the great forest-lover, Words-worth himself - where shall we find a statelier forest than we find here?
