Honey from the Weed, Verses (Classic Reprint)

As one who wanders in a stately wood Amid the glories of the grand old trees, Stoops here and there to cull a wayside weed7 A spray of fern, a white anemone, A blade of feathery grass, or harebell blue, Until a simple nosegay grows, brought home In token of the pleasant way gone through So I, long traversing the sunny glades, The verdant depths, and lofty forest growths Of Shakespeare's verse, have happed at intervals Oh waifs and strays of fancy, here tied up In likeness of a handful of wild ?owers; Collected for the sake of that which they Record, and for the sake of those who crush Not under foot the smallest weed that may Possess one grace of shape or fragrance sweet.
