Shall hear what Katy did.

THE GRASSHOPPER.

There is the grasshopper, my summer friend—

The minute sound of many a sunny hour

Passed on a thymy hill, when I could send

My soul in search thereof by bank and bower,

Till lured far from it by a foxglove flower,

Nodding too dangerously above the crag,

Not to excite the passion and the power
