Their long, bright tresses, one by one,
As they laughed and talked in the chamber there,

She tied her raven ringlets in;
But not alone in the silken snare
Did she catch her lovely floating hair,
For, tying her bonnet under her chin,
She tied a young man’s heart within.- "Tying Her Bonnet under Her Chin", stanza 1, p. 119.

So sweet the daffodils, so fair to see;
So blithe and gay the humming-bird a-going
From flower to flower, a-hunting with the bee.- "In June", stanza 1, p, 152.

With idle, heedless pace,
Unlooking for such grace,
I shall behold your face!
