Fly Leaves by Charles Stuart Calverley
page 51 of 78 (65%)

But in men's hearts shall be thy throne,
While the great pulse of England beats:
Thou coiner of a word unknown
To Keats!

And nevermore must printer do
As men did long ago; but run
"For" into "ever," bidding two
Be one.

Forever! passion-fraught, it throws
O'er the dim page a gloom, a glamour:
It's sweet, it's strange; and I suppose
It's grammar.

Forever! 'Tis a single word!
And yet our fathers deem'd it two:
Nor am I confident they err'd;
Are you?



UNDER THE TREES.



"Under the trees!" Who but agrees
That there is magic in words such as these?
Promptly one sees shake in the breeze
