Robert Browning - MisconceptionsRobert Browning - Misconceptions
Work rating: Low


I.    This is a spray the Bird clung to,      Making it blossom with pleasure,    Ere the high tree-top she sprang to,      Fit for her nest and her treasure.      Oh, what a hope beyond measure Was the poor spray`s, which the flying feet hung to,—- So to be singled out, built in, and sung to! II.    This is a heart the Queen leant on,      Thrilled in a minute erratic,    Ere the true bosom she bent on,      Meet for love`s regal dalmatic.      Oh, what a fancy ecstatic Was the poor heart`s, ere the wanderer went on—- Love to be saved for it, proffered to, spent on!  A vestment used by ecclesiastics, and formerly    by senators and persons of high rank.
