OCTAVES IN AN OXFORD GARDEN: 17. CONSTANCY, by ARTHUR W. UPSON Poet's Biography

Subject(s): Oxford, England
First Line: It is the same sky over sea and land
Last Line: Good is within all, having all things planned.
Subject(s): Oxford, England
IT is the same sky over sea and land:
The same pure stars attend great London town
That tremble where the Channel thunders down;
'Tis we that vary, running on the strand.
Life bounds no fresher from the eternal hand
Here in the Wadham branches than out yon
Where blurs the dusty highway wide and wan:
Good is within all, having all things planned.
