The thrushes at the forest's hem;

And as I went I sang with them.


JUNE

LONG, long ago, it seems, this summer morn,

That pale-browed April passed with pensive tread

Through the frore woods, and from its frost-bound bed

Woke the arbutus with her silver horn;

And now May, too, is fled,

The flower-crowned month, the merry laughing May,
