I. Halcyon Days
Not from successful love alone.
Nor wealth, nor honor'd middle age, nor victories of politics or war;
But as life wanes, and all the turbulent passions calm,
As gorgeous, vapory, silent hues
cover the evening sky,
As the days take on a mellower light,
and the apple at last hangs really finished'd and indolent-ripe on the tree,
Then for the teeming quietest, happiest days of all!
The brooding and blissful halcyon days!
