When the fruit in mighty clusters
BY the zephyr. soft is famed:

With almost furnaces glow
Painting red the ripening peaches.
On the branches bending low.
Listening to the drone of insects,
Busy with the nectared flowers
Gathering honey for their off

Thro' the long and sunny hours:
Longing for cooling zephyr.
For the sound of laughing rills;
For the breezes of the mountains
For playspell, in the hills.
Where, beside the rudy fagot.
Lighting up the evening shade,
We may listen to the slidrock
AS it tinkles down the grade,
Smell the ssvory odor rising
From the ven son in the pan
Watch the speckled beauties glisten
AS their painted sides, they fan &:
Gaze upon the works of Nature,
Listen to Her wondrous strains
Whispered TO the fragrant pinetree.

Feel the drowsy sense of comfort,
Only found mid Natures wild
Sleep, and dream. as free from
