A Summer Dream

Ricli with the tribute of ft hundred fiekls Of dover, purplo gtobed, or white and fair; And hedji imv traiied witli honeysuckle rara, Or flowery Sell, whose skady covert yields Moist foothold for tho violet, and shiekis lts petals f rom the sun ; the perf umed air Clows soft, and over all my seuaes wields A spell. Deep in the grateful shadow where Tho thick leavetl branches searceadmit a ray Of danetng sunUght, here, in blissful ease, LulJQd uit li t lic droway hum of honey bees, I lio and watch the drifting clouds all day, Till tho wai'm Imcs tlmt tint the waving seas Of golden grnin fado into sober gray.
