While gentle zephyIs softly blow.
To lie and watch the green things grow
IN summer.
a Reflection in Sumner
How nice it is December nights,
TO watch the back-log's dancing lights,
And see the nimble fire sprites
Leap twig and splinter;
To sit within the chimney nook

And read your best-belOved book,
