a witching laughter in the woods
A group of madens everywhere,
With glowing checks and flowing hair,
And not n sorrow or n care
Within their dainty hoods.
Anagile fleetness in their limbs
A tint of morning on their brows;
Their postures full of girlish whims;
No dappled fawn SO nimbly skins
Along the silver lakelet brms,
Beneath the dripping boughs.
They are ruthless, rompng rout,
Marauders of each nook and glen;
They disappear with song and shout,
They beat the forests all about,
And ferret the timid flowers out
Then come in glce again.
Such knots of flowers, and knots of girl
With beauty in their busy eyes
One plaits cluster with her curls,
Another in her fingers twirls
A nosegay rich with liquid pearls,
A tell-tale in disguise.
Oh grlhood is gucrdon fair,

There's witchery in its wayward air,
Sprinkling the sunshine everywhere;
Alas that later years impair
