      Even as a child he loved to thrid the bowers,

      And mark the loafing sunlight's lazy laugh;

      Or, on each season, spell the epitaph

      Of its dead months repeated in their flowers;

      Or list the music of the strolling showers,

      Whose vagabond notes strummed through a twinkling staff;

      Or read the day's delivered monograph

      Through all the chapters of its dædal hours.

      Still with the same child-faith and child-regard

      He looks on Nature, hearing, at her heart,

      The beautiful beat out the time and place,

      Whereby no lesson of this life is hard,

      No struggle vain of science or of art,

      That dies with failure written on its face.

      QUIET

      Table of Contents

      A log-hut in the solitude,

      A clapboard roof to rest beneath!

      This side, the shadow-haunted wood;

      That side, the sunlight-haunted heath.

      At daybreak Morn shall come to me

      In raiment of the white winds spun;

      Slim in her rosy hand the key

      That opes the gateway of the sun.

      Her smile shall help my heart enough

      With love to labor all the day,

      And cheer the road, whose rocks are rough,

      With her smooth footprints, each a ray.

      At dusk a voice shall call afar,

      A lone voice like the whippoorwill's;

      And, on her shimmering brow one star,

      Night shall descend the western hills.

      She at my door till dawn shall stand,

      With Gothic eyes, that, dark and deep,

      Are mirrors of a
