Like _a purple beech among the greens
Looks out of place_.

--'Edwin Morris'.


Or

Delays _as the tender ash delays
To clothe herself, when all the woods are green_.

--'The Princess'.


As _black as ash-buds in the front of March_.

--'The Gardener's Daughter'.


A gusty April morn
That _puff'd_ the swaying _branches into smoke_.

--'Holy Grail'.


So with flowers, trees, birds and insects:--


The fox-glove _clusters dappled bells_.
