A PICTURE .
BY SAVAEICUS .
A BOAT upon the pebbly shore , With skulls at ease , is lying ; The waterfall with gentle roar , Where foam and spray is fl ying , Pours forth its streams Beneath Sol ' s beams , A picture fair supplying .
Beside the lakelet ' s verdant brim The fleecy flock is grazing ; Along its face the wild birds skim—Their swiftiiess is amazing—¦ From earth to sky They dart and fly , With plumage brightly blazing .
A mill stands on the rising ground , With sweeps but slowly turning ; Its click and clack , the only sound , Voice-like , the stillness spurning ; A scene so clear , The heart can cheer , Ancl satisfy its yearning .
Here could I sit the live-long clay , And list to sweet birds singing , Whilst joys new born within me play , A pleasure ever bringing ; Such loveliness This life doth bless
, A glory o ' er it flinging . Inspired by happy thoughts I view This gem of nature ' s setting ; I feel the charm of life anew , Ancl y ield without regretting :
0 earth , how bright Thy golden light , Man ' s heart should ne ' er be fretting !
