the meat in stews. with hard tack and
tomatoes, but ii seemed to make no DIFF

we'll.
There lies the path, they say
Come away Come away!
There is forest. lying 'twixt two streams
Sung through Of birds and haunted of dim
dreams
That in its league-long hand OF trunk and
leaf
Lifts a green wand that charms away all
grief;
Wrought OF quaint silence and the stealth
of things
Vague, whispering touches, CLEANS and twit-
terings.
Dews and cool shadows-that the mystic
OF nature permeates with suave control
And waves DER earth to make the sad heart
whole.
There lies the road, they say
Come away! Come away.
