Canst thou not wait for Love one flying hour
O heart of little faith?

On Viol and Flute (1873)

In fair Provence, the land of lute and rose,
Arnaut, great master of the lore of love,
First wrought sestines to win his lady’s heart.

New Poems (1879)

Ah! sovereign Love, forgive this weaker rhyme!
The men of old who sang were great at heart,
Yet have we too known woe, and worn thy rose.
