Stay near me-- do not take thy flight!
A little longer stay in sight!
Much converse do I find I thee,
Historian of my infancy!
Float near me ; do not yet depart!
Dead times revive in thee:
Thou bring'st, gat creature as thou art!
A solemn image to my heart,
My father's family!
Oh! pleasant, pleasant were the days.
The time, when, in our childish plays,
My sister Emmeline and I
Together chased the butterfly!
A very hunter did I rush
Upon the prey:--with leaps and spring
I followed on from break to bush;
But she, God love her, feared to bursh
The dust from off its wing.
by William Wordsworth
