The hutteri1g nesdles swiftly dip
In soft, white meshes OF her work
Where quaint ara loving fancies lurk.
The eye besrsyS the silent lip.
The tiny needles loop the thread,
Strung with sweet thoughts OF summer hours
OF sunlight on the fragrant flowers,
fpoems in the woodland read.
With prelude Of the wild birds sonv
And blending with that warbled tone
The murmuTs, evermore their own.
