Nature
See, Essie Goes!
From The Poets and the Poetry of the Century, ed. Alfred H. Miles
Nature
See, Essie goes! — and thou, proud rose,
Ah, where is now thy vain delight.
When round thee swung yon bee and sung,
No beauty matched thy beauty bright?
Adown the close — see, Essie goes;
And see, enchanted at the sight,
Around her swings yon bee and sings.
Her beauty mocks thy beauty bright!
