Summer time amid the corn, • Summer odors, eve and-morn, Floating round it every' way, Perfuming, night and scenting day; Meadow sweet, whose creamy truss Is twined with pink , convolvulus, - • Spatted foxglove, harebell blue, Forget-me-not, to lovers true, That grows with wild mint by the stream, In which their pale blue shadows gleam-; Eye bright white and golden green, By the rose-a-ruby seen ; Crimson ling and purple heather, Bending all their heads together O'er the scarlet planpernet ; All these throw their mingled smell Around Summer's fading bowers, - Forming her last wregth of flowers. Corn rustles on the upland lea, Like the murmur of the sea That comes at pleasant eventide, Where the beach winds smooth and wide ; Bird boy's call heard loud anti - Jong; Clapper chiming to his song ; From early morn to evening gray Both he scare the birds away ) And his cry comes in between The stop and stir of branches green;' Little Little pauses, through,yvhich creep: Faint jingling!' of the bells of sheep , While the sheperd dog's.deep bark Starts front the corn the frightened lark And as thb village children sing While through the cornfields wandering, Convolvuh, and poppies red, They twine around,each other's head. Fun tanned reapers 'mid the corn, From the earliest peep of morn, Long before the dew has dried, Leaving the shorn ears spread wide, Till the sun's red rays come down. And give them that rich golden brown They ,wear when bound. in plumy sheaves His labor oft the reaper leaves, And on the cool stream's flowery brink, Lays hint down, full length, to drink In shadow of the weo.ded holt, Where the ass b'rowses with her colt. Like a figure in a prearn, Fast asleep beside the stream; Lies a maiden by her'sickle, The ripples o'er her bare feet trickle, While bees murmur in the Shade, And lull to sleep the Weary maid. Close at her head the harvest nieuse Has on three corn-stalks built her house; Wonder to all learned men How she feed's her Children ten,. • In compass of,a,,,crieket ball ?. • How she reacherthem at all - Without being . stnothered? how theio, rest In such a small,'cloSe woven neat Now the barred'gittels thritst aside, Making passage clear and wide For the heavy Idden wain: Piled so high wish ripened grain, Take toll from the Vocking,load, 'Till their branchesneem to stoop Thro' weight ofigold.that froni , them droop. In a huge rock beside the grange; ' They the heavy sheaves will rangi, Placing all the eaminside.
