Poetry examples for “meadow”

Excerpts from the ReadingWillow English Library collection.

Will neither care nor know
What stranger's feet may find the meadow
And trespass there and go,

And the blotting shades confuse
Path and meadow full of dews;
And the high heavens, that all control,

Light hearted I quit you,
For the long loose ripples of the meadow-grass
Invite me to dance upon them.

A cow in a meadow shakes her bell
And the notes cut sharp through the autumn air,

The Poet came to a meadow.
Sifted through the grass were daisies,

To see meo through this meadow dive.
We wonder how they rJae alive ;

In the shadiest places,
Find no waving meadow-grass
Pied with broad-eyed daisies;

Do you see me in the meadow
Coming from the woodland spring

And pass, to spare the farmer's wheat,
The poppy and the meadow-sweet!
He would not let his wife's heart ache

The hedge-flower hath its song;
Meadow and tree,
Water and wandering cloud
