Here you will find the Poem Elegiac II. of poet Arthur Hugh Clough
Trunks the forest yielded with gums ambrosial oozing, Boughs with apples laden beautiful, Hesperian, Golden, odoriferous, perfume exhaling about them, Orbs in a dark umbrage luminous and radiant; To the palate grateful, more luscious were not in Eden, Or in that fabled garden of Alcinoüs; Out of a dark umbrage sounds also musical issued, Birds their sweet transports uttering in melody Thrushes clear piping, wood-pigeons cooing, arousing Loudly the nightingale, loudly the sylvan echoes; Waters transpicuous flowed under, flowed to the list?ning Ear with a soft murmur, softly soporiferous; Nor, with ebon locks too, there wanted, circling, attentive Unto the sweet fluting, girls, of a swarthy shepherd; Over a sunny level their flocks are lazily feeding, They of Amor musing rest in a leafy cavern.
