Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Town and Country Poems
By the battlements of beech, that crown the banks With a wilderness Of flowers on their flanks. The morning dew lies wet upon the grass, And distils from leaves above us, as we pass In the shade of drooping branches that must The green banners of the Goddess Cybele. For we seem to hear the cymbal and the drum Of a corybantic chorus in the hum, From a hidden stream that chatters on the stones, With a wealth of tears and laughter in its tones. And the laughter floats around us as we climb, With the hoof-beats treading out a measured rhyme, As the bridles faintly Chink a steely thrill.
