NEW ZEALAND VERSE.
THE GREEN FIELD. This preen field is the masterpiece Of many hands. There you may know Backs strained and thighs, and wills were bent, And sweat poured out to make it so. Cut, cleared, and tended, now it lies Docile to man, while he stands near. But let him turn and it will slip Into the thicket, like a deer. —J. R. HASTINGS. Wellington.
