Dante Gabriel Rossetti | The Day-Dream

The thronged boughs of the shadowy sycamore

Still bear young leaflets half the summer through;

⁠From when the robin 'gainst the unhidden blue

Perched dark, till now, deep in the leafy core,

The embowered throstle's urgent wood-notes soar

⁠Through summer silence. Still the leaves come new;

⁠Yet never rosy-sheathed as those which drew

Their spiral tongues from spring-buds heretofore.
