MIDSUMMER.
Around this lovely valley rise
The purple hills of Paradise.
Oh, softly in yon banks of haze
Her rosy face the Summer lays!
Becalmed along the azure sky,
The argosics of clOUdland lie,
Whose shores with many shining rift.
Far on their peaIrl-white peaks mplift.
Through all the long midsummer day
The meadOw-Sdes are sweet with hay;
seek the coolest sheltered seat
Just where the fields and forest meet =
Where grow the pine trees tall and bland,
The ancient oaks HuStere and grand,
And fringy roots and pebbles fret
The ripples of the riVulet.
watch the mowers as they go
Through the tall grass, whitcRleevetl row;
With even stroke their Scythes they swing,
In tune with merry whetstoncs ring;
Behind the nimble youngsters run
And toss the thick swatlIS In tho sun;
The cattle Craze: while warm and still,
Slopes the broad pasture basks the lil,
And bright, when summer brceZes break
The green wheat Crinkles like lake.
The butterfly aud humble.bcc
Come to the pleasant woods with me;
Quickly before me runs the quail,
The chickens skulk behind the rail,
High up the lone WoOl-pigeon sits.
And the wOOd-pecker peckS and fits.
Sweet woodland music sinks and swels,
The 6rOOklet rings its tinkling bells,
The swimming insects drOne and hum.
The partridge beats his throhbing drum.
The squirrel leaps among the bOnghs,
And chatters in his leafy house.
The OriOle flashes by; and, lOON
Into the mirror of the brook,
Where the vain blue-birLl trims his coat,
Two tiny feathers fall aud float.
As silently, as tentlerly,
The down Of peace descends on me.
Oh, this is peacci have no need
OF friend to talk, of book to read:
A dear Companion here abiles;
Close to my heart He hides
The holy silence is His Voice:
lie and listen and rejoice.
