Part Two: Nature

XXXVI

FREQUENTLY the woods are pink,

Frequently are brown;

Frequently the hills undress

Behind my native town.

Oft a head is crested

I was wont to see,

And as oft a cranny

Where it used to be.

And the earth, they tell me,

On its axis turned,—

Wonderful rotation

By but twelve performed!
