[Written for the Sentinel.]

Pleasant View in Summer

GRACE WHITE.

The drowsy hum of insects winging
Their hovering flight from flower to flower,
The joyous sound of gay birds singing
From field and fence and hidden bower,
The garden's bright-hued treasures clinging,
To parent stem in close embrace,
The roses all a-bloom are swinging
Gay captives in the warm wind's chase.
The gentle nymph from chalice flinging
The sparkling, splashing waters wide,
Sending the lingering echoes ringing
Against the fountain's curving side.
The breezes from the meadows bringing
From sun-warmed grass its fragrance drawn.
And wind-tossed trees are gaily flinging
Their shadows on the grassy lawn.
