Henry Hart Milman


Hollow as the unbowell’d winds.	1
Steps … light as though a winged angel trod, Over earth’s flowers, and feared to brush away, Their delicate hues.	2
Shrink, as from a serpent in a knot of flowers.	3
Shrivelled like a burning scroll.	4
Thy smiles, like sunflowers in the golden light they love.	5
Soothing as the gale of eve.	6
Vain and unprofitable, as is the sunshine to a dead man’s eyes.	7
