On the Wood-path
I followed the TOUnd to-day And these were things I saw by - the-^way,-^-—~r A copse of waxbcrries and sweetbriar haws, A .squirrel, with a hazelnut in his paws, ... ' I saw the flick of a pert white tail And an empty shell that once housed a snail. " I saw wild asters like lavender stars, t Boughs black on the sky as prison bars, The rungs of a fairy ladder where A cobweb was blown across the air . And a pheasant cock who haughtily strode Ahead of me down the grass-dim road. - » I saw a gate in a fence, and then You at a window, I was home again. —Ethel Romig Fuller.
