Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Poems and Prose Remains of Arthur Hugh Clough, Vol. 2 of 2: With a Selection From His Letters and a Memoir; Poems
So I turned home the way I came, With downcast looks and heavy heart, A guilty thing and full of shame, With a dull grief that had no smart. It chanced when I was nearly there That all at once I raised my eyes Was it a dream, or vision rare, That then they saw before them rise 2 I see it now, before me here, As Often, often I have done, As bright as it could then appear, All shining in the setting sun. Elms, with their mantling foliage spread, And tall dark poplars rising out, And blossomed orchards, white and red, Cast, like a long low fence, about And in the midst the grey church - tower.
