In my poor mind it is most sweet to
Upon the days gone by; to act in thought
seasons o’er, and be again a child;
To sit fancy on the turf-clad slope,
Down which the child roll; to pluck gay flowers,
Make posies in the sun, which the child’s hand
(Childhood offended soon, soon reconciled)
throw away, and straight take up again,
Then fling to the winds, and o’er the lawn
Bound with playful and so light a foot,
That the pressed scarce declined her head.
