monadnoc from afar.

    • Dark flower of Cheshire garden,
    • Red evening duly dyes
    • Thy sombre head with rosy hues
    • To fix far-gazing eyes.
    • Well the Planter knew how strongly
    • Works thy form on human thought;
    • I muse what secret purpose had he
    • To draw all fancies to this spot.
