A MIDSUMMER DAY’S FANCY 6. I look across the meadow and I see The wind blow through the clover, wild and free. Untouched by all but nature is this plain. That from the springtime’s gently failing7rein Emerges with a blosson studded cloak, Broken only by a stately oak. That towering, stands so solemn and supreme, The King of nature's kingdom, 30 serene. This kingdom has no logion3 but the blades That sway beneath the oak’s deep gentle shade. Its people are the acorns all around, Where gentle breezes blew thorn to the ground. The bees that gather nector f]y about Among the blossons, ducking in and out. And as I watch them fly, I realize, - • That in this kingdom roofed by placid skies, ■ Nature and God, unmatched in all their skills, Creators of this blissful realm that fills The dreamer, such 03 I, with joy profound — They have created all: the grass, the ground, The oak tree, and the bees, the clover too, The calm and placid sky of vivid hue. And on this distant hilltop where I lie So comfortably beneath the' summer sky, I'd like to spend my time, until t'-.e day, When Winter snows shell take my realm away.

For some unknown reason they think we've been bad. Our privileges, Miss Gates say., we’ve already had. With us Mr. Trainor is quite disgusted, For oui feeble minds cannot be trusted. IIow Mr3. Clark feds is really a mystery; 10 her we’re no doubt, the worst in all history.
