What Is So Rare As A Day in June
I am so glad somebody else knows of James Russell Lowell!
I agree yesterday was a gorgeous June day. My heart was just so full of joy at the bounty of nature. A friend and I toured the gardens of Princeton and what a riot of colors it all was. It was worthy of sublime poetry and JRL's just fit the bill.
The cowslip startles in meadows green,
The buttercup catches the sun in its chalice,
And there's never a leaf nor a blade too mean
To be some happy creature's palace;
The little bird sits at his door in the sun,
Atilt like a blossom among the leaves,
And lets his illumined being o'errun
With the deluge of summer it receives;
Thanks wow
