To a New England GirlEdward Townsend Booth
A
In France and stripped it of its wings;
Broken the swift Icarian flight
Of untoward imaginings
That sought a sun hardly my own.
And you have winged and brought me down
Through sudden ecstasy to rest
Upon your white New England breast,
Where love is fragrantly austere
As those deep-bosomed hillsides are
That slope down to Franconia,
Full-blossoming in early year.
