The Touchstone

The Touchstone

A man there came, whence none could tell,

Bearing a Touchstone in his hand;

And tested all things in the land

By its unerring spell.

Quick birth of transmutation smote

The fair to foul, the foul to fair;

Purple nor ermine did he spare,

Nor scorn the dusty coat.

The Winter Pear

The Winter Pear

Is always Age severe?

Is never Youth austere?

Spring-fruits are sour to eat;

Autumn's the mellow time.

Nay, very late in the year,

Short day and frosty rime,

Thought, like a winter pear,

Stone-cold in summer's prime,

The Winding Banks Of Erne

The Winding Banks Of Erne

Adieu to Belashanny!

where I was bred and born;

Go where I may, I'll think of you,

as sure as night and morn.

The kindly spot, the friendly town,

where every one is known,

And not a face in all the place

but partly seems my own;

These Little Songs

These Little Songs

These little Songs,

Found here and there,

Floating in air

By forest and lea,

Or hill-side heather,

In houses and throngs,

Or down by the sea -

Have come together,

Wayside Flowers

Wayside Flowers

Pluck not the wayside flower,

It is the traveller's dower;

A thousand passers-by

Its beauties may espy,

May win a touch of blessing

From Nature's mild caressing.

The sad of heart perceives

A violet under leaves

The Bubble

The Bubble

See the pretty planet!

Floating sphere!

Faintest breeze will fan it

Far or near;

World as light as feather;

Moonshine rays,

Rainbow tints together,

As it plays.

The Little Dell

The Little Dell

Doleful was the land,

Dull on, every side,

Neither soft n'or grand,

Barren, bleak, and wide;

Nothing look'd with love;

All was dingy brown;

The very skies above

Seem'd to sulk and frown.

The Nobleman's Wedding

The Nobleman's Wedding

I once was a guest at a Nobleman's wedding;

Fair was the Bride, but she scarce had been kind,

And now in our mirth, she had tears nigh the shedding

Her former true lover still runs in her mind.

Attired like a minstrel, her former true lover

Takes up his harp, and runs over the strings;

And there among strangers, his grief to discover,

A fair maiden's falsehood he bitterly sings.

The Abbot Of Innisfallen

The Abbot Of Innisfallen

The Abbot of Innisfallen

awoke ere dawn of day;

Under the dewy green leaves

went he forth to pray.

The lake around his island

lay smooth and dark and deep,

And wrapt in a misty stillness

the mountains were all asleep.

The Lepracaun Or Fairy Shoemaker

The Lepracaun Or Fairy Shoemaker

Little Cowboy, what have you heard,

Up on the lonely rath's green mound?

Only the plaintive yellow bird

Sighing in sultry fields around,

Chary, chary, chary, chee-ee!—

Only the grasshopper and the bee?—

'Tip-tap, rip-rap,

Tick-a-tack-too!

The Ruined Chapel

The Ruined Chapel

By the shore, a plot of ground

Clips a ruined chapel round,

Buttressed with a grassy mound;

Where Day and Night and Day go by

And bring no touch of human sound.

Washing of the lonely seas,

Shaking of the guardian trees,

Piping of the salted breeze;

The Maids Of Elfin-Mere

The Maids Of Elfin-Mere

When the spinning-room was here

Came Three Damsels, clothed in white,

With their spindles every night;

One and Two and three fair Maidens,

Spinning to a pulsing cadence,

Singing songs of Elfin-Mere;

Till the eleventh hour was toll'd,

Then departed through the wold.
