A,onS it's edge wee common flowers

Arc whispered here where no sharp
thrtsts surprise.
The tiny tread OF little feet Is heard.
And the first flutter OF the new-ficdged

Here neighbor bees and yellow putter-
fTlt-far below the angry storms that
blight
Yon peaks magnificent where eagles

,rhe dripping prey that writhes in vain

There is no crown Of bay leaves waiting
But fairy larkypur wreaths Instead
OF gold
The coreopsls shines forth prettily;
Here by the baby brooks are swcetly
told

small silver tales of daily happiness.
