SWALLOWS.
IFrom Household Words. |

Now, DER the harvest meadows green
Their arrow headed forms are seen;
Now, DER the pool they skim,
As IL they wsh'd to dive below,
To those far Stalking skies which glow
Down through the waters dim
With skiiful wings their white breasts lave,
And oft the smooth translucent wave,
Records the daring feat
Until they shyly dart away
To where tho swarming insects play,
In some calm cool retreat
within the beechs cleaning shade,
They hit through every sombro glade
Like bats upon the wing
SO swift and silently they so,
Amid the foliage 10 aud fro,
As 'twere some secret thing
Thence homo TO shelt'ring caves they HE,
And barns and lofts with twittring cry,
Mslolodiously rcsound;
And then each dark warm nest they sock,
To feed from fond exhaustlcss beak
The mouths that open round. ef
Once more once more away they dart,
10 ransack with curious art,
The water, earth, and air,
Tho shade, tho meadow, pool and sky,
AS If they knew most happily,
Each JOY secreted there.
With tantalixed and laggard sight,
We try TO trace their thought swift hight,
Which thing may never be;
We can but wish, from this fair earth,
Our labor'd pleasures and feign'd mirth.
AS innocent aud free.
Yet II may hap, perchance, they prize
Far better than their clear skies,
The heavens beneath the pool:
And Earth's reflections calm and green
May loyelier be to them, ween,
Than meadows fresh and cool,
But II this striving world OF men
should seem 10 their untutord ken
A happier thsu their own
Their bliss.ul pl1ions let them stay,
And they shall wish, ore one short day,
Such knowledge all unknown.
