Bayard Taylor
Children, Spring, Dark
Bayard Taylor (1866). “The Poems”, p.408

Voluptuous bloom and fragrance rare The summer to its rose may bring; Far sweeter to the wooing air The hidden violet of spring. Still, still that lovely ghost appears, Too fair, too pure, to bid depart; No riper love of later years Can steal its beauty from the heart.

Bayard Taylor
Love, Summer, Spring
Bayard Taylor (1866). “The Poems”, p.43

The source of each accordant strain Lies deeper than the Poet's brain. First from the people's heart must spring The passions which he learns to sing; They are the wind, the harp is he, To voice their fitful melody,-- The language of their varying fate, Their pride, grief, love, ambition, hate,-- The talisman which holds inwrought The touchstone of the listener's thought; That penetrates each vain disguise, And brings his secret to his eyes.

Bayard Taylor
Lying, Hate, Spring
Bayard Taylor (1866). “The Poems”, p.111
