“ With streaks like the redd'ning of apples,
The ripening of rye.
To eastward, when cluster by cluster,
Dim stars and dull planets, that muster,
Wax wan in a world of white lustre
That spreads far and high ”

“ Makes deeper the dreamiest distance,
Some song in all hearts hath existence, —
Such songs have been mine.
