When the larch is in flower, and the thrush "rarely pipes"--exquisitely

sings; and "the sea-blue bird of March,"[64] the kingfisher, "flits by;"

come, my friend, in thy spirit form, with thy brow wearing the tokens of

what thou hast become. Come to me also in the summer-time, when roses

bloom and the wheat ripples in the wind. Don't come at night, but whilst

the sunbeam is warm, that I may see thee,

"beauteous in thine after form,

And like a finer light in light."
