Casco Bay breeze., 1912-08-01

Ground pine. club moss. arbor vitae,
So we knew them In our childhood.
i-ycopodium obscurum-L.ycop cla :
vatum-.Lycopodium compla natum-
As We knew them I'm our school days.
Here the Coenus Canadensis
Dots the somber brown and gray-green.
Lighting up the gloomy forest
With its berries bright and scarlet.
Aster, golden-rod and gentian
Wild rose. and the Indian pipe
Looking as IL carved from marble
Al these you will find ! warrant.
These and many other beauties
AS you roam the woods OF Bustin's
on the shore are other wonders
For the youngsters. lads and lassies-
Star-fsh. snail and periwinkIe.
Now and then a spiney urchin,
And the bright anemone.
Mussel: clam and razor-fish
iorseshoe-crab. of ancient family.
And the sea-fea. spry and frisky:
Then the rock-weed, thick and slippery
And the eel-grass, seen at ebb tide.
Farther out the keIps and sea weeds.
And the apron which the Devil
Wears when making shoes for mermaids
Preachers three have we among us
And each Sabbath day we gather
In the grove of spruce and hernIock-
Gods own house. by hand not builded-
Listening to their words of comfort
Teachings for our present earth life
And our welfare everlasting.
Restfui. quiet. peaceful haven.
FOR the tired In soul and body
Just TO swing and read in hammock,
Floating out in Gods free sunshine.
Greathing in the piney odors
Odors sweet as those they tell us
Come from "Araby the Blest."
Ana when summer shall have vanished
Homeward turn we from our outing
Laden with the health here sarnered.
