Love
Along This Coast I Led the Vacant Hours
From Works and Life, ed. Forster, vol. VIII (1876)
Love
Along this coast I led the vacant Hours
To the lone sunshine on the uneven strand,
And nipt the stubborn grass and juicier flowers
With one unconscious inobservant hand,
While crept the other by degrees more near
Until it rose the cherisht form around,
And prest it closer, only that the ear
Might lean, and deeper drink some half -heard sound.
