A COUNTRY LANE.

Between steep banks it winds along,
O'erhung with leafy hawthorn trees,
From which in spring the thrush's
song
Floats softly on the soft south breeze.
There is the earliest primrose found.
And modest purple violets grow,
And trembling wind-fiowers star the
ground,
And humble ragged robins blow.
There, too. on golden summer ewes.
The ola folks like to stroll and talk;
Or slowly. under whispering leaves.
The se1f-absorbed young lovers walk,
While. fresh as youthful hopes. uufurl
New growths about their lingering
feet:
And tender fronds of fern uncurl
And all the bslmy air Is sweet
with mingled scents OF thyme anS
musk.
And wilding-roses. passion pale,
As trembles through the dewy dusk
The music OF the nightingale.
And. stealing from some hidden nook,
Adown the lane and DER the lea,
BY pleasant ways. d silver brook
Runs. singing. to the silver sea.
