Fields & Other Poetry

Lavender

The lavender serenely sways

On quiet fields and sleepy dales,

But dreams awake me from my slumber,

Causing the fields and skies to pale.

When will I wake and find the dream,

Which sultry day can never break

And darkening night never conceal?

I'd live that dream and never wake.

A Field

A breeze makes it way through the wilderness,

Frolicking with young bows and virgin springs;

Bees descend from their high altars of gold

Like angels offering their sweet blessings.

I watch the dense-grown fields of lavender,

Smelling the sweet perfume their beauty yields.

Oh! how the scene brings back such memories—

Memories of those treading other fields.
