Oranges, peaches, grapes, and figs, cluster'd,

ripen'd, and fell,

And the cedar scent was pleasant, blent with

the soothing 'cacia smell.

The squirrels red ran overhead, and I saw the

lizards creep,

And the woodpecker bright with the chest so

white tapt like a sound in sleep;

I dreamed and dozed, with eyes half-closed,

and felt like a three-year child,
