Counting the time that Shall lead 70 this
The month that opens the hunters heaven
And OIL for the moFnings crisp and white.
With the sweep Of the bounds upon the track
The bark-roofed cabin. the eanp-nre's light.
The break OF the deer the rides crack.
Do you call this triaingf I tell you. friend,
A life IN the forest is past all praise;
Give me . dozen such msRths ON end
You may take my balance Of years and days.

And pulse Of evil that throbs and beats;
And men grow Withered before THAR primes
With the curse. paved in on the lanes and

And lungs arc ehoked, and shoulders are bowed
In the smOthering reek Of mill and mine;
And death stalks in on the struggling crowd
But he shnns the shadow sf oak aud pine.

Where our xhanties stood by the crystal springs,
The vanished hounds and tAelueky shots.
