SELECTIONS FROM THE POEMS OF MICHAEL DRAYTON. EDITED BY A. H. BULLEN. PRIVATELY PRINTED BY UNWIN BROTHERS, CHILWORTH. 1883. 'OCT 31 1924 HERTZ B8 TO DOROTHEA. DEAR little maid with laughing eyes, Wistful, wilful, winsome, wise, Fain would I lightly poetise In stanzas cheery; But days are short and nights are long, Ah! welladay! the mist and rain With drum and tabor; And blown to left and blown to right, Scared birds that cannot keep their flight Drop, baffled and outwearied quite We cannot speed the blust'ring hours, But we can sing and we can play, 19.371 |
