RETURN FROM HAWKING.
ON A PICTURE BY LANDSEER.
They form a picture that appears of Eld—
The beauteous mother and the husband bold,
And smiling infant like a rose-bud held
Upon the parent-stem, but half unrolled
Yet blushing brightly in each crimson fold.
The household steed, in quiet sympathy,
Looks silent on and seems to share their glee.
