I'D LIKE TO GO

Rnd q nave STIFFNESS All dIouiu-
Not real Stiffness but just the trees
Low whispering. the hum Of bees,
Or brooks faint babbling over stones
In strangely, softly tangled tones
or maybe the cricket or katydd.
or the songs of birds in the hedges hid,
Or just some such sweet sounds as these
To I'LL tired heart with ease.
If 'twerent for sight and sound and smell
I'd like the city pretty well;
But when 1t comes to getting rest
] like the country lots the best.
Sometimes It seems To me l must
just quit the ctys din and dust
And get out where the sky Is blue
And. say now. how does II seem to you?
