Laburnum, lilac, honeysuckle, broom,
Syringa, rowan, hawthorn, guelder-rose,
Azalea, rose, and elder—summer glows
About me in sultry smother of scent and bloom
Shut in between the old walls' mossy brick:
Yet, as in the green and golden gloom I dream
In the drowsy dazzle of perfume and colour astream,
An upland odour stings me to the quick—
The shrewd remembered smell, sharp, clean, and cold,
Of peat and moss, where never blossoms blow
Under the shadow of bleak whinstone scars
The summer-long, or only rarely show
Over black pools the sundew's stars of gold
Or grass-of-Parnassus' cold white scentless stars.
