Lynton Verses

Sweet breeze that sett'st the summer birds a swaying,
Dear lambs amid the primrose meadows playing
Let me not think!
O floods, upon whose brink
The merry birds are maying,
Dream, softly dream! O blessed mother lead me
Unsevered from thy girdle ? lead me! feed me!
I have no will but shine;
I need not but the juice
Of elemental wine?
Perish remoter use
Of strength reserved for conflict yet to come!
Let me be dumb, 
As long as I may feel thy hand?
This, this is all?do ye not understand
How the great Mother mixes all our bloods ?
O breeze! O swaying buds!
O lambs, O primroses, O floods!
