of man is so expansive that it can soar
from star to star. and from sachelite to

phene, and from cherrybeam to cherry
beam, and from thence to The center of
the dome of heaven"

thing they might get, and what some of
them most deserve.

Blossoms in the grass;
Green things agrowing

Sudden little breeZes:
Showers of silver dew;
Black bough and bent twtg
Budding out anew;
Pine tree and willow tree,
Fringed elm, and larch--
Don't you think that May
Pleasanter than Marchg
Apples in the orchard,
Mellowing one by one;
Strawberries upturning
Soft cheeks to the sun;
Roses, faint with sweetnes5;
Lilies, fair of face;
Drowsy scents and murmurs
Haunting every place;
Lengths OF golden sunshine;
Moonlight bright as day
Don't you think that summers
Pleasanter than May9

Whistling negro songs:
Pussy by the hearth side.

Chestnuts in the ashes
Burning through the rind;
Red leaf and golden leaf
Rustling down the wind;
Mother "doin' peaches"
All the afternoon
Don't you think that autuma's
Pleasanter than Junes
Little fairy snow-fakes
Dancing in the fiue,
Old Mr.. Santa Claus,
What is keeping you?
Twilight and freight;
Shadows come and go;
Merry chime of sleigh bells,
Thinking through the snow;
Mothers knitting stockings,
(Pussy's got the ball;)
Don't you think that winters
Pleasanter than all?
