Poem by George Darley

Lenimina Laborum. 46. The Roman Cottager

Verbatim from Virgil.

Happy old Man!—here mid thy well-known streams
And sacred founts, shalt thou the coolness dim
Inhale!—This neighbour hedge, still pasturing
Hybloean bees on willow flowers, shall oft
With a light murmur Iure thee to repose!
Here shall the woodman sing unto the winds
Beneath the lofty rock: nor shall they care,
The deep-voiced doves, nor shall the turtle cease,
From the aerial elm-tree to complain. 

1. Lenimina Laborum. 6. I'm a rover! I'm a rover
2. Lenimina Laborum. 42. On a Young Tree
3. Lenimina Laborum. 10. Fair as the flower is, it will yet decay
4. Lenimina Laborum. 61. Weep Not, My Bride!
5. Robin’s Cross
