June with her glancing grasses, June with a smiling sky,
June, brown as the country lasses Or wings of the dragon-fly!The mown hay lies like sedges Or weed of the seashore strewn;
Abrim with corn to the hedges The fields are filled in June.

Additional quotes by Walter George Headlam

Love that fills the firmament with glory!— All the world knew this, but now I know it;
Last have proved the eternal story And in song will shew it,
All to gain, if you shall deign Me to be your poet.O divinest Heavenly Aphrodite, Here on earth incarnate I behold you,
Lovelier, more serene and mighty Than my lips have told you,
Far beyond my dreamings fond In my arms to fold you.You it was knew where the sweet flowers haunted; I could praise them found, but you could find them;
I with studious art unvaunted Have in garlands twined them,
And as due bring here to you On your brows to bind them.Take the worship, and with grace in guerdon Still for me new flower-abodes discover,
That my song may keep its burden, There is nought above her;
I, denied her breast, abide Her devoutest lover.
