myosote

Updated: July 19, 2026

And laden branches float By banks of myosote; And scented flag and golden fleur-de-lys Delay the loitering boat." I cannot say how often I have read that poem, and how delightfully it carries the breath of our River through the London smoke. Nor less welcome are the two poems on spring, the "Invitation to the Country," and the "Reply."
