Excerpt from Retrospect and Other Poems

All my life of long ago that lies so far asunder,
"Here, how came I thence?" I say, and greater grows the wonder

... See, the meadow-sweet is white against the watercourses,
Marshy lands are kingcup-gay and bright with streams and sources,

And yet I know not an it be
Some music in the lane,
Or but a song that rose with me
From sleep, to sink again.
A...
