Their chimes on the morning air;
But my soul’s sad ear is hurt... (Read full poem)

Skimming lightly, wheeling still,
The swallows fly low
Over the fields in cloudy days,

Had a boy's face,
And four small wheels

That slipped away
In many wiles
From each and every... (Read full poem)

carrying a large bronze church bell

And that one there the song of Dante,
And this is Kant and... (Read full poem)
