THE PASTORAL PILGRIM
Sweet peas and dappled mignonette
Below my crystal window set,
Clear air and lucent skies,
And the dove's whispers and replies.
Below my crystal window set,
Clear air and lucent skies,
And the dove's whispers and replies.
A garden and an orchard white
And pink—an orchard 's my delight,
Whose very name doth bring
Airs of the summer, joy of spring.
And pink—an orchard 's my delight,
Whose very name doth bring
Airs of the summer, joy of spring.
And having these shall I repine
For houses, houses in a line,
With other men to dwell?
Give me my staff and cockle-shell.
For houses, houses in a line,
With other men to dwell?
Give me my staff and cockle-shell.
