Building Back

A recent find to help me build back my poetry book collection. This is a rare one having a padded leather cover. I did have a volume of Holland before. This one is written in a format somewhat like an allegory and quite frankly, above my ability to really comprehend. I did find one bit that I like though. As follows;

Yet I went out with dream as bright as yours, ---
Nay, brighter, ---for the birds were singing then,
And apple-blossoms drifted on the ground

The skies were soft; the roses budded full;
The meads and swelling uplands fresh and green; ---
The very atmosphere was full of love.
