The dog star RACES In the upper air,
But Nature smiles. and in a generous mood
Shows fertile fields which teeming harvests bear,
Or marks the spot whereon rich harvests stood.
Like to TWO each lake Is wHoLED with trees
Whose leaves make music In the Summer breeze,
And little streams that sparkle in their flight,
Seem. as they run, TO bubble with delight;
While birds o'erbead In songs their JOY declare.
And as the day descends tho moons clear light
Makes night In August seem surprising fair.
