Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Insect Hunters: And Other Poems
Should you ask me, whence these lessons, With their deep and wholesome teaching 9 vvhence these numerous descriptions, With their music, with their magic, With their breathings of the forest, With their gleams of summer sunshine, With their dew drops bright and sparkling, With their scents and sounds delicious, Scents of haymaking in meadows, Sounds of happy creatures humming, With their frequent repetitions, To the youthful mind so needful? I should answer, I Should tell you, From the wild wood and the forest, From the corn field and the meadow, From the park and from its palings.
