Alfred Austin (Альфред Остин)

* * *

`Covet who will the patronage of Kings,
And pompous titles Emperors bestow,
Splendour, and revelry, and all that brings
A thousand bitter thoughts, a world of woe:
A meadow glistening in an April shower,
A green-banked rivulet, and, near his nest,
A blackbird carolling in guelder bower,
'Tis these that soothe and satisfy the breast.' 

1. In Sutton Woods
2. The Death Of Huss
3. Why Should I, From This Long And Losing Strife
4. Spiritual Love
5. If They Dare!
