At the Root of a Forest Tree
And nature's jewels, radiant things Loved the green sylvan place, the bco Tuning to harps its quivering wings, With arrowy straightness sought tho tree. Floated the yellow butterfly. A wandering dot of sunshine by, And, nestling mid its moss, The sky-tinged violet's fairy cup Its draught of sweetness offered up To globes that stole across. —Alfred Street. Poems
