OCTAVES IN AN OXFORD GARDEN: 10, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Primrose, and phlox, and clytie (as I call
Last Line: And discord dreamwise vanish from it all.
Subject(s): Nature; Oxford, England; Sunflowers


Primrose, and Phlox, and Clytie (as I call
The lady Sunflower, never to forget
The faithful nymph she was — ah, yes, is yet!),
These sway unto its heartsome rise-and-fall
With ivies undulating up the wall;
And thought, to inarticulate rhythm set,
Joins harmony, while far the World's vain fret
And discord dreamwise vanish from it all.
