Usage in poetry
Nay, then, I did not wrong thee, my poor Rose,
That from the stem I early took thee,
Ere yet the worm had nestled in thy heart,
Or coldness chill'd, or friends forsook thee.
And Erin spread her skirt across her grave,
And there were shamrocks nestling on the breast,
And blue bells and all flowers that softly wave,
Making more beautiful her place of rest.
There was an eye that pour'd the tear,
And every drop was doubly dear;
And there was one beside,
The little nestling of my heart,
It clung to me and would not part,
Nor yet be pacified.
I know the dainty spot
(Ah, who doth know it not?)
Where pure young Love his lily-cradle made;
And nestled some sweet springs
With lily-spangled wings--
Forget-me-nots upon his bier I laid.
"And did he die?" cries little Nell.
"No, he was nestled warm.
The Snow's white arm that round him curled
Had caught him into another world:
What other world he could not tell,
But, out of all the storm.
One eve, in the gloaming, I hushed him to rest,
And the trees whispered "Claude" as they waved overhead,
He smiled as he nestled more close to my breast,--
And I wept,--for I knew that my darling was dead.
