Amid the herbage, yesternight,

His web the cunning spider threw,

And now, as sparkling diamonds bright,

It glistens with the pendent dew.

Gay butterflies dart on and sink

O’er the sweet blossoms of the pea,

And from the clover’s globe of pink

Contented hums the downy bee.

In all this varied beauty glows

Deep meaning for the thoughtful heart,
