XIII

by Alfred, Lord Tennyson · (no date)
Published 01/07/1880
Part of The Miller's Daughter

That slope beneath the chestnut tall

Is wooed with choicest breaths of air:

Methinks that I could tell you all

The cowslips and the kingcups there.

Each coltsfoot down the grassy bent,

Whose round leaves hold the gathered shower,

Each quaintly-folded cuckoopint,

And silver-paly cuckooflower.
