Ye patient fields, rejoice!
The blessing that ye pray for silently
Is come at last; for ye shall no more fade,
Nor see your flow'rets droop like famishing babes
Upon your comfortless breasts.

More quotes by Hartley Coleridge

The soul of man is larger than the sky,
Deeper than ocean, or the abysmal dark
Of the unfathomed center.

Poems (1851)

Rising now, anon descending,
Swift and bright as shooting stars,
Thus we travel glad and free.

Poems (1851)

He grew, and grew,
A star-bright sign of fated empery;
And all conspiring omens led him on
To lofty purpose and pre-eminence.

Poems (1851)

Jove is not one half so merciless
As thou art to thyself. But fare thee well;
Our love is all as stubborn as thy pride,
And swift as firm.

Poems (1851)

The glad sons of the deliver'd earth
Shall yearly raise their multitudinous voice,
Hymning great Jove, the God of Liberty!
