Town and Country Children - drawn by Gavarni, 1850. Illustration to a poem by Thomas Miller on the joys of rural life: 'Children there are in many a street Who never press'd beneath their feet The daisies; or on dale or down Saw husky harvest waving brown; Never beheld the wild rose blow, Saw May hang out her sheeted snow, Or heard, o'erhead, in early spring, The lute-voiced skylark carolling; Who share no joy, and feel no woe, Whether the flowers come or go, Nor to the woods go "summering". From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
