Note about Display

##### Title Page Text

All round the year the changing suns and rains Beat on men’s work—to wreck and to decay— But nature builds more perfectly than they, Her changing unchanged sea resists, remains. All round the year new flowers spring up to shew How gloriously life is more strong than death; And in our hearts are seeds of love and faith, Ah, sun and showers, be kind, and let them grow.

| #### RESURGAM.
| Swift pass the hours, or lengthened by our hearts Uncertain measurement of time, And when we dream the year has just awoke, We wake to find her in her prime.

We sadden with the dying Autumn leaves, Yet falling seeds their promise bring; Through long dark Winter days we only wait A resurrection in the coming Spring.
Within each hour the precious minutes lie Like seeds awaiting Spring’s first breath, God’s harvest-time shall show us if they bear The flowers of life or death. Caris Brooke. |

Cold is the earth, the flowers below, Fearful of Winter’s hand, lie curled; But Spring will come again you know, And glorify the world. Dark is the night, no stars or moon; But at its blackest night is done; All after hastens to the noon, The triumph of the sun! And life is short, and love is brief— Be patient! There will be—they say New life, divine beyond belief, Somewhere, somehow, some day! E. Nesbit. |

| #### MARCH VIOLETS. This busy, dusty wind that blows Along the cruel streets, Right to the heart of violets goes, And robs them of their sweets. And as along the cruel street The keen wind robs the flowers, So the cold kindness that we meet Blights these poor hearts of ours.

But if you tend with warmth, you know, Your violets, they give Sweet scent again, as if to show How glad they are to live. We think if some one loved us too Our hearts would break to prove By all that we could say or do, How glad we were to love! E. Nesbit.

Dream footsteps wandering past us in our sleep, A restless presence stirring with the light,

The cry of waters where the snow was white,

A violet’s whisper where dead leaves lay deep;

The dim wood’s music makes a sudden leap,

Broken notes, blending in a wild delight,

And lo! the whole world changes in our sight.

Promise is ended—we must turn and reap

Fulfilment, for the Spring with all her wealth

Is with us, and compels us to her will.

Yet if the sun-dawn we should shun by stealth

Yearning for shadows and the darkened hours,

Sweet Lord, be pitiful, remembering still

One lieth low beneath the budding flowers.

Caris Brooke.

Never a hand on the cottage door To call me forth in the evening light, My days grow old, and I watch no more The cowslips gold and the may-buds white.
Primroses nestle beneath the hedge Where we kissed and wept and said good-bye— For twenty years I have watched them bud, For twenty years I have seen them die. |

Yet now that the Spring once more has turned The sea to silver, the earth to gold, I shall watch no more from the primrose lane, Where I waited and watched in the days of old. Yet the children weave me their daisy chains, The woodland music is sweet and clear, Though the footsteps have wandered beyond recall, That I watched and waited so long to hear! Caris Brooke.

The swans along the water glide, Unfettered and yet side by side— So should true lovers ever be, Together ever—ever free.

| A chain upon the white swan’s neck, What were it good for—save to break? And swans who wear and break a chain Swim never side by side again.

| My best beloved, the Spring is fair, The woods are green and life is good, Come out with me and let us tread By field and fold and sweet wet wood— The wind-flower blanches all the copse, With hyacinth the hedge is blue, And every wakened leaf is fair, But not so fair as you! The black-birds sing on hazel boughs Beneath the overarching trees, The cuckoo’s distant song is borne Across the meadow by the breeze, The thrush’s song is sweetest far But saddens as the hours go by. You hear? The nightingale’s in love, But not so much as I! E. Nesbit.

Girdled with gold my little lady’s bower Stands at the portals of a world in flower, And down her ways the changing blossoms mark How the Spring grows each day from dawn to dark.

| When forth she moves, her dainty foot is set, On cowslip, hyacinth and violet, And all day long the woodland minstrels sing Changes of measure for her pleasuring. And all night long a passionate music stirs Without her walls—the darkened belt of firs; Hushed in their waving boughs the low winds brood, Murmuring the sea’s song for an interlude. Caris Brooke.

The last bright relic of the moon’s full gold Burns on the swiftly flowing river’s breast; No sound but restless dipping of strong oars To break the charm of nature’s perfect rest. Far off the town’s faint mingled clamours stir, And through the silence of the nearer light The incense of the evening mist floats up— The day’s last lingering love-word to the night. A sudden shiver of regretful change Sighs through the whispering boughs that overhead Sway in the wind’s breath: down the red sun dips, And in the twilight’s arms the day lies dead. Then rain, and after, moonshine cold and fair, And scent of earth, sweet with the evening rain, And slow soft speech beneath the rain-washed trees, Ah, that such things should never come again! Oh listening trees, where are the words we spoke? Where are our sighs, wind whom those sighs caressed? Oh! what a fate is ours, too swift, too sad, If such an hour goes by with all the rest! E. Nesbit.

| What o’clock is it, children dear? Ask of the dandelions here! Blow, blow, blow, and away they go— But they do not tell us the time you know! Say, what month is it, children dear? We think it is August because we hear The swing of the sickle, restless and slow, And that’s a sign of the month, you know.

Where are you going, children dear? Where the lane winds deep and the stream runs clear— There are plenty of beautiful ways to go— But only one way that two only know. Where are we going, children dear? To a beautiful country that’s very near, Hand in hand is the way to go Up into fairyland you know. E. Nesbit. |

#### HOP PICKING.
Ah me, how pleasant to go down From the forlorn and faded town To Kentish wood and fold and lane, And breathe God’s blessed air again; Where glorious yellow corn-fields blaze And nuts hang over woodland ways. To pick the sweet keen-scented hops, (See from each pole a dream-wreath drops) To toil all day in pure clear air, Laughter and sunshine everywhere— With reddening woods and sweet wet soil And well-earned rest and honest toil. |

| Where do we fly, under deep dark sky? Over the moors we go, Over the pool where quiet and cool Bulrush and sedges grow— And what was the loveliest thing we met? Ah—we forget! We remember though all the firelit glow Of a great hearth’s gleam and glare, And we looked for a space at each happy face And the love that was written there. And that, of all we have looked on yet— We least forget!

| Oh what a day! all yellow and gray, And so dark, so dreary, so foggy and thick, That if I should meet In the street My sweet— I might pass her by! Risk that? Not I! Take me home out of danger then! Quick, feet, quick.

Not Summer’s crown of scent the red rose weaves

Nor hawthorn blossom over bloom-strewn grass,

Nor violet’s whisper when the children pass,

Nor lilac perfume in the soft May eves,

Nor new-mown hay, crisp scent of yellow sheaves,

Nor any scent that Spring-time can amass

And Summer squander, such a magic has

As scent of fresh wet earth and fallen leaves.

For sometimes lovers in November days,

When earth is grieving for the vanished sun,

Have trod dead leaves in chill and wintry ways,

And kissed and dreamed eternal Summer won;

Look back, look back! through memories’ deepening haze,

See—two who dreamed that dream, and you were one.

| #### THE LOVER TO HIS LASS.
| Dearest, the Winter is here! “It will be sad,” so you said, “When no green leaves overhead Shadow the paths where we tread!” I said “It still will be dear If we still meet, O my sweet!” See how the seasons are kind! See this December forget How to be weary and wet! Hardly our June I regret, Winter so comely I find Since you are here, O my dear! Sweetheart, I sometimes believe, Love, not the sun, makes us glad; Even the mists were not sad If your soft hand-clasp I had. Hearts sing, though skies mourn and grieve, All weather’s fair If you’re there! Someday a home there shall be, Love shall be sun of it, sweet! Joy shall be full and complete— Sound of small voices and feet; While, like the sunshine, for me, You light up life— You—my wife!

| #### BEFORE PARTING.
| surely is the hour come for farewell, Now, with the lessened light and darkened days. Who now would tread the wild hill’s pathless ways? We found so fair when Spring and Summer’s spell Made blind our hearts this parting to foretell. Yet why, while wan and wintry sunlight stays On perished gold of Autumn fields, delays Your heart to speak, while both our hearts rebel? Together we have gathered through the year All that the year could give us of its best, Is it not meet our parting should be here, Now in the season drear of death and rest? Yet since together we its joys have known How shall each meet the strange New Year alone. Caris Brooke.

The original book was wider than it was tall; the cover picture shows the proportions. Some compromises had to be made in laying out this html version. The decoration accompanying “Hop Picking” was rotated clockwise, and a few text passages were separated from their accompanying picture.

The beginning of each poem should look something like this:

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.
Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.
Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.
This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
