This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1893 edition. Excerpt: ...place. How the sunsets used to stain Mirror of the water lying Under eaves made dark with rain! Where the red-bird, nestward-flying, Lit to try one bar again. Dingles, hills, and woods and springs, Where we came in calm and storm, Swinging in the grape-vine swings, Wading where the rocks were warm. With our fishing nets and strings. Here the road plunged down the hill, Under ash and chinquapin, --Where the grasshoppers would drill Ears of silence with their din, --To the willow-girdled mill. There the path beyond the ford Takes the woodside, just below Shallows that the lilies sword, Where the scarlet blossoms blow Of the trumpet-vine and gourd. Summer winds that sink with heat, On the pelted waters winnow Moony petals, that repeat Crescents, where the startled minnow Beats a glittering retreat. Summer winds, that bear the scent Of the iron-weed and mint, Weary with sweet freight and spent, On the deeper pools imprint Stumbling steps the ripples dent. Summer winds that split the husk Of the peach and nectarine, Blow beyond the crimson dusk Hazy skirts, but faintly seen, Spilling balms of dew and musk. Where with balls of bursting juice Summer sees the red wild-plum Strew the gravel; ripened loose, Autumn hears the pawpaw drum Plumpness on the rocks that bruise: Here we found the water-beech, Some forgotten August noon, With its hornet-nest in reach, Like a Fairyland balloon. Full of bustling fairy speech. Some invasion sure it was: For we heard the captains scold; Waspish cavalry a-buzz, --Troopers uniformed in gold Sable-slashed, --to charge on us. Could I find the sedgy angle, Where the dragon-flies would turn Slender flittings into spangle On the sunlight? or would burn Where the berries made a tangle, Sparkling green and brazen blue?
