Excerpt from Sonnets in Switzerland and Italy Sonnet Dedicatory To John Ruskin With a wreath of Gentianella and other Alpine flowers from St. Beatenberg You give me much, I little, but I know That for poor deed you take the generous will, And so I send from off this 'Blessed Hill' The sweetest flowers in Switzerland that grow. Take them, and let them tell you what I owe, - For you it was who taught mine eyes to thrill At sight of 'gentian' glory, and to fill My soul with wonders of the Alpine snow. Still do these lowly stars of azure blue Unto that star in Heaven, the great Sun, turn, And in his joy their secret selves unfold, And still your fond disciples turn to you, Open their hearts that for your sunshine yearn, And seek the smile they learned to love of old.
