Sheltered waifs . swing on willow boughs, llalf-drunk with Mays delicious air;The hum of burly bumble-beeFrom sodded field and orchard tree. The lowing herds, the bleating flocks. And sudden dash of fleeting showers,The tranquil sky at even-tide, And languid pace of mid-day broad eaved barn, where rose the swallows when the hav came in. 12 Tlic praric-lily, scarlet plunuHl, And osier, tufted oer with wliite. The undulations (like the sea) Of fields that stretch beyond the sight. The cloud mirage, uplifted dim Against the skys inverted rim. The far off crimson of the west Which filled thy soul with fairest dreamThe moons pale light that melted through The twilight shades, with steady beamAnd distant call of summer nights were cool and still. Remembering these early scenes, Thy soul shall drink the draughts of peace:And thought shall rise on stronger wing, While burdening cares and doubt will cease,Remembering, rememberingWill keep thy heart in childhoods spring. -^^-. I hear the swelling musicOf wind-harps rudely strung. 13 P ope.
