OCTAVES IN AN OXFORD GARDEN: 23. DUST OF EDEN, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Some dust of eden eddies round us yet
Last Line: "and pitying leaves looked down and sighed, ""forget."
Subject(s): Eden; Gardens & Gardening; Heaven; Paradise


SOME dust of Eden eddies round us yet.
Some clay o' the Garden, clinging in the breast,
Down near the heart yet bides unmanifest.
Last eve in gardens strange to me I let
The path lead far; and, lo, my vision met
Old, forfeit hopes. I, as on homeward quest,
By recognizing trees was bidden rest,
And pitying leaves looked down and sighed, "Forget."
