WHAT LADY GAY SAW
She saw the sparrows budding their nests up in the trees; She saw the sheep and beard die buzzing, wild, brown bees. She saw the cattle browsing upon a distant bill. And in the stunted scrubs die heard the thrushes trill.
She saw the bush-clad mountains, heard rivers rushing by. And overhead the cloudlets sped, ’neath the summer shy. She saw the lovely landscapes, dotted here and there with broom. She said, “The country is much better than a stuffy office room.'* —’MATE CLEMATIS. View HiH. _ Oxford.
