Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Basket of Fragments: The Employment of Leisure Hours
The following Poem I now present to the' public; the pleasures of imagination is only seen by those who are fond of retirement, and the beauties of Nature, in efery season of the year, is felt by a heart over ?owing with gratitude and admiration. The works of Divine Good ness was not created in vain; then, who is more obligated to praise them than' man? Where they not given for his comfort? Have they not bloomed for his pleasure? And who can feel the different changes of the seasons more sensibly than a poet? They view his beauties in the infant blossoms of the spring, and his love in the fruits of the sum mer, his tender' kindness in the profusion of autumn, and his fatherly care through the stems of the winter. And who will not secretly praise the great Creator.
