First Line: A dreamy day with opalescent sky
Last Line: And kinship of all floral things assert.
Subject(s): Fields; Weeds; Pastures; Meadows; Leas
A dreamy day with opalescent sky,
And we together on the lazy road
Whose purple distance amethystine glowed
Against the pale green tints of ripening rye;
While, far away, from some church belfry high,
Faint sound of chiming bells sweet peace bestowed,
And 'cross the hazy hilltops danced and flowed
The emerald-tinted river.
Near us lie
The sun-flecked fields, where yellow mustard flaunts
With milk-weed, pink and white, while Queen Anne's lace
Its dainty flowers unfold, and spiderwert
And daisies fresh bloom gayly in their haunts
Along the dusty wayside, which they grace
And kinship of all floral things assert.
