The starlight smile of children, the sweet looks / Of women, the fair breast from which I fed, / The murmur of the unreposing brooks, / And the green light which, shifting overhead, / Some tangled bower of vines around me shed, / The shells on the sea-sand, and the wild flowers, / The lamp-light through the rafters cheerly spread, / And on the twining flax-in life's young hours / These sights and sounds did nurse my spirit's folded powers.
