Some of them peering from wayside hedge,

As yonder, adrift on the aery stream,

Love drives his plumed and filleted team;

The Angel of Summer aloft I see,

And the souls of roses about to be!

And the heart in me sings—the heart knows why—

’Tis winter on earth, but June in the sky.


[MOTHER EARTH]

O mother, tuck the children in,
