Edith Nesbit - The Moors
Work rating: Low

NOT in rich glebe and ripe green garden only 
    Does Summer weave her sweet resistless spells, 
But in high hills, and moorlands waste and lonely, 
    The vast enchantment of her presence dwells. 
Wide sky, and sky-wide waste of thyme and heather, 
    Perpetual sleepy hum of golden bees-- 
If you and I were only there together, 
    Free from the weight of all your garden`s trees! 


The north is mine; though bred by elm and meadow, 
    Pines, torrents, rocks, and moors my heart loves best; 
I love the plover`s wail, the cleft hill`s shadow, 
    The sun-browned grass that is the skylark`s nest. 
Ah, yes! you too I love, dear wistful pleader, 
    You most I love, dear southern rose, half-blown, 
And rather lounge with you beneath your cedar, 
    Than greet the moor`s wide heaven-on-earth alone.
