Heavenly Rose to swelling sea.


THE ORCHARD AND THE HEATH.

I chanced upon an early walk to spy

A troop of children through an orchard gate:

The boughs hung low, the grass was high;

They had but to lift hands or wait

For fruits to fill them; fruits were all their sky.

They shouted, running on from tree to tree,

And played the game the wind plays, on and round.
