[June, Ground-bird, come here and see How you can nest with , run about me and play. Strong man, with cheek so brown, Here come and cut me down,Toss me, and turn me to hay. Fill high the farmers loft ; Then go and gather oftFodder for cattle at night ; Take all you need of me; I 11 not live selfishly,Nor for my own delight. Grasshopper, butterfly, Bees, that with honeyed thigh Ever on busy wing rove. Born of one parent, we, All of one family,Linked to each other in love. Golden-hued buttercup, Over me glancing up,By the light summer-breeze wooed, You, too, shall share with me This happy destiny,Born to be useful and good. So shall the early spring Life to our bosoms bring,Verdure and beauty restore ; Then, taking heed of us, All who have need of usWelcome shall be as before. Mrs. A. M. 1868.] The Story of the Great Charter. 333
