Poems (Greenwood)/To miss c. m. sedgwick

TO MISS C. M. SEDGWICK.

O glory-wedded! to thy brow
 A coronal is given,
For which, when song and Greece were young,
 The very gods had striven.

O, find'st thou not that envied crown
 A weary weight, and chilling?
Its lonely glory, is it not
 An ice-touch, heartward thrilling?

Ah, no! e'en now a rosy light
 Those vernal leaves is flushing;
O woman-hearted, love's warm buds
 Are 'mid thy laurels blushing!
