Sad-Eyed and Soft and Grey

I am the ancient apple-queen,
As once I was so am I now.
For evermore a hope unseen,
Betwixt the blossom and the bough.
Ah, where’s the river’s hidden Gold!
And where the windy grave of Troy?
Yet come I as I came of old,
From out the heart of Summer’s joy.
William Morris
William Morris (1834-1896) was an English textile designer, poet, and socialist activist. He is known for his work in the Arts and Crafts Movement and his poetry collections, including The Earthly Paradise (1868-70).
