"Shall think of childhood's careless

daym and long long hours of summer

play, in the shade of the apple tree"

 "'T is Flora's page - in every

place, in every season, fresh

and fair."

 "Though the snow is falling

fast, specking o'er his coat

with white."

 "And birds sit brooding

in the snow."

"Is thy sad heart thrilled with

filial pain, to see thy wetched

mother's shortened chain?"

 "In the thousand plants that

spring to birth, on the valley's

side in the home of shade."

 "I steal by lawns and grassy plots;

I slide by hazel covers;

I move the sweet forget-me-nots;

That grow for happy lovers."

 "I chatter over stony ways."
