14 NORTE SHOR 
A Little Song of Comfort 
turn thine eyes, 
Dear heart, from wintry skies 
To where a wherry, laden deep 
With daffodils 
From the southern isles, from isles of sleep, 
Her saffron spills 
On the low-lying meads. 
Look where she looses to the sere 
And rustling reeds 
The cuckoo of another year 
Where on the golden tides of air 
She shoots her dim and purple nets, 
Sweetly to snare 
The sense with hope of violets. 
Warm from the West 
A breath 
Hath blown aside the veil of death— 
Where last year’s nest 
Waits the remoulding of a mother breast ! 
Turn then thine eyes, 
O tender soul, to brightening skies.
