New Zealand: A Sonnet
I’ve been in England when glad April's there, . * And walked in chequered fields gold-pied with flowers, ‘And gazed at dusty relics-castle towers That moulder in dead grandeur everywhere; I’ve seen Egyptian tombs, with treasures rare, Which in forgotten days had been the dowers Of poor dead queens. I’ve passed long, magic hours . In distant lands, iunmeasurably fair ; But though my feet have wandered, my heart stayed, Enchanted by each green New hill, icdnd lingered there in every fern- -bower'd ¢ glade ; | For, in my youth, I heard a tui thrill, » And watched the sunset on the mountains: ‘fade. "= Lo silent evening, and the land grow still.
