For they had heard upon the hills the echo of your tread.
I knew that you were coming, June, I knew that you were coming,
For ev’ry warbler in the wood a song of joy was humming.
I know that you are here, June, I know that you are here—
The fairy month, the merry month, the laughter of the year!
THE BIGGER THING
Jest yesterday I watched an ant
A-totin’ in the summer sun;
I saw him puff an’ pull an’ pant
With little burdens, one by one.
