. Wordsworth for the young; selections with an introduction for parents and teachers . Beside the ridge of a grassy graveIn quietness she lays her down ;Gentle as a weary waveSinks, when the summer breeze hath died,Against an anchored vessels side ;Even so, without distress, doth sheLie down in peace, and lovingly. The day is placid in its a lingering motion bound,Like the crystal stream now flowingWith its softest summer sound:So the balmy minutes this radiant Creature liesCouched upon the dewy with downcast eyes.— But now again the people raiseWith awful cheer a voice of praise ;It is the last, the parting song ;And from the temple forth they throng,And quickly spread themselves abroad, While each pursues his several road. But some — a variegated band Of middle-aged, and old, and young. And little children by the Land Upon their leading mothers hung — With mute obeisance gladly paid Turn towards the spot, where, full in view, The white Doe to her service true. Her sabbath couch has made. Look, there she is, my Child! drawnear:. She fears not, wherefore should -,ve fear ?She means no harm; — but still the Boy,To whom the words were softly back, and smiled, and blushed for joy,A shame-faced blush of glowing red!Again the Mother whispered low,Now you have seen the famous Doe;From Rylstone she hath found her wayOver the hills this Sabbath-day ;Her work, whateer it be, is she will depart when we are gone;Thus doth she keep, from year to year,Her Sabbath morning, foul or fair. THE BLIND HIGHLAND BOY.
