Not illustrated. 1886 edition. Excerpt: ... LOST DAYS. Fob many tedious nights and days, Within this dim imprisoning room, My soul has groped amid the maze Of weariness and pain and gloom--And as I look abroad again On verdant hill, and heavy tree, And furrowed field, and cultured plain, It seems another world to me. For I have lost the fairest sight, The dearest days of all the year--The sweet beginnings of delight, The summer's gradual drawing near; The new weeds pushing freshly up--The eager growing of the grass--The first ambitious buttercup--The maple's morning red, alas--The first strong throbs of nature's heart, When spring her vital magic weaves--86 LOST DAYS.
