But the beauty of the fleeces,

And the soft eyes peering at me through the woodbine lattices!

And beyond them, and the network

Of the dogwood, and the fretwork

Of the interlacing grapevines, and across the meadow land,

I can see the color showing

Where the winter-wheat is growing,

With the corn encamped about it like a plumed protecting band.

While among the many-seeded

Tufts of russet weeds, unheeded,
