Excerpt from The Blameless Prince and Other Poems

Prelude

Poet, wherefore hither bring

Old romance, while others sing

Sweeter idyls of to-day?

Why not picture in your lay

Western woods and waters grand,

Clouds and skies of this fair land?

Are there fairer far away?

I have many another song

Of those regions where belong,

First of all, my heart and home.

If for once my fancy roam,

Trust me, in the land I view

Falls the sunshine, falls the dew,

And the Spring and Summer come.
