Recollections of Love Annotated

I
How warm this woodland wild Recess!
&nbspLove surely hath been breathing here;
&nbspAnd this sweet bed of heath, my dear!
Swells up, then sinks with faint caress,
&nbspAs if to have you yet more near.

II
Eight springs have flown, since last I lay
&nbspOn sea-ward Quantock's heathy hills,
&nbspWhere quiet sounds from hidden rills
Float here and there, like things astray,
&nbspAnd high o'er head the sky-lark shrills.

III
No voice as yet had made the air
&nbspBe music with your name; yet why
&nbspThat asking look? that yearning sigh?
That sense of promise every where?
&nbspBeloved! flew your spirit by?

IV
As when a mother doth explore
&nbspThe rose-mark on her long-lost child,
&nbspI met, I loved you, maiden mild!
As whom I long had loved before—
&nbspSo deeply had I been beguiled.

V
You stood before me like a thought,
&nbspA dream remembered in a dream.
&nbspBut when those meek eyes first did seem
To tell me, Love within you wrought—
&nbspO Greta, dear domestic stream!

VI
Has not, since then, Love's prompture deep,
&nbspHas not Love's whisper evermore
&nbspBeen ceaseless, as thy gentle roar?
Sole voice, when other voices sleep,
&nbspDear under-song in clamor's hour.
