James Maurie Thompson 1844-1901 John Bartlett

 
1
    When Spring is old, and dewy winds
  Blow from the south, with odors sweet,
I see my love, in shadowy groves,
  Speed down dark aisles on shining feet.
          Atalanta’s Race.
2
    She throws a kiss, and bids me run
  In whispers sweet as roses’ breath;
I know I can not win the race,
  And at the end, I know, is death.
          Atalanta’s Race.
3
    Bubble, bubble, flows the stream
Like an old tune through a dream.
          In Haunts of Bass and Bream.
