A traveller on dusty road strewed

And one took root and sprouted up and

Love sought its shade at evening time,

And age was pleased in heats Of noon

The dormous loved its dangling t*igs,
The birds sweet music bore:
1t stood glory in lis place, a blessing
eyermCIe,
A little spring had lost its way amid
the grass and fern,
A passing stranger scooped well where
men might turn;
He walled it in, and hung with care a
ladle at the brink;
He thought not OF the deed he did, but
judged that toll might drink.
