Being on the eve of another and ap­ parently more than ordinarily busy sea­ son, Andrew Lang’s delightful reverie comes with all the freshness of a new sensation. There could hardly be a more appropriate subject for an inaugural ode. There have been times when certain words were stirring! The heart, at each, Leaped, when in books it came on them occurring, Or common speech! Ah, where is that delirious excitement These words could bring ? For instance, fig h t: What happiness a fight meant, In boyhood’s spring! And how the heart would beat against the side, too, (It’s lost the habit!) When, as we took our walks abroad, one ciied to Us, “ H i ! Mark Babbit ! ” A little later wThat could equal this Glad phrase —young lady — When still you hoped to meet, in every Mis?, Gulnare, or H aidee! When strange young ladies each (or all) might prove (Pronounce it pruv) The girl with whom, so Fate determines, you’ve To fall in love! What now can move us ? Even that girl, and fight , And rat, and rabbit , Completely fail the pulses to excite— From lack of habit. Well, there’ s one word that moved me when a boy, That moves, to-d ay: ’Tis when the umpire, to the general joy, Pronounces “ Play ” ! When now the fields are set, and seniors all, Intent on cricket, Watch the first Oxford bowler’s foremost) all Upset a wicket! May I, ere Time, with all that he can bring Of sorrows serried, Takes that delight from the delight of spring, Be dead and buried By some field-path where cricketers may pass Along its mazes, And over me the green short English grass, The English daisies.
