Vacation. Q worker, weary with thy work, Worn with the daily strife, Who knoweth that success is vain, That dreams fade out of life, Goto thy mother's beart for rest; Deep as thy childhoods sleep, Her tired chitidren safe and cioso Thy mother yet can keep, For still "tis true, as in those days Long past, of myth and song, Calm Nature great all mother is, With love and memory long. Find then, thon canst, on Nature's heart This solace for thy pain— The joy that blossoms with the grass, The gladaess of the grain, The bappy breaking into song Of brook, and bird, and bee, And ou the wind thas lifts the wave And bends the willing trea. On silent pools beneath the hills, W here quiet shadows lie, On waters swift and changing hue Let tall thy line and fly Let thy Leart dance with dancing And with the pattering rain— So sh:a't thou find, though day decline, Thy childbood’s rest again.
