Oh, dear my garden, where the fruit
Of lovely knowledge sweetly springs,
How jealously you guard the root
Of all enlightening things!
AND you could leave me now—
After the first remembered whispered vow
Which sings for ever and ever in my ears—
The vow which God among His Angels hears—
After the long-drawn years,
The slow hard tears,
Could break new ground, and wake
A new strange garden to blossom for your sake,
And leave me here alone,
In the old garden that was once our own?
How should I learn to bear
Our garden's pleasant ways and pleasant air,

Such beautiful writing but I found it felt very similar after a bit
There are some really lovely poems in this collection, unfortunately it's bogged down by repetitiveness and a few less engaging works. Love, religion, domesticity, nature, and death are recurring themes.
