Laughs long; while woods and leas, shut in a net

Of mist, dream vague in view.

And thou, safe-houséd in some pawpaw bower

Of close, broad, gold-green leaves, contented art

In thy prediction, fall'n within the hour;

While fuss the brown bees hiveward from the heart

Of honey-filtering bloom; beneath the cart

Droop pompous barnyard cocks damped by the shower:

And deep-eyed August, bonnetless, a beech

Hugs in disheveled beauty, safe from reach
