'Midst the grasses, 'midst the seed heads, Blue-winged butterflies alight. And the " Small Heaths " on the stem beds Find their rest the coming night. Here the roving wasp is taking Home the spoil from camp and bcxit. And the dragon-fly is making- Raids where water lilies float. There the fierce Dytiscus, sweeping. Seizes on the helpless fry. And the black-tailed spiders, creeping, For their prey 'neath bubbles try. THE THAMES Waving poplars, sentry keeping Silent watch some hamlet o'er, Where ...the A-illage lights are peeping. And its clock chimes out the hour. Oft at sunset have I ^^'andered By thy silvery, winding way, And in idle moments pondered On each soft reflected ray. So at twilight have I drifted. While the bats around me flew, As, the veil above me lifted. Star on star came into view. Then the mirrored surface shimmered. Shifting moonbeams cast their spell. While the rippling river glimmered. And the shadows round me fell. These the memories that soften Recollections of the past ; They will cheer my heart ^^'hen often It is chilled by winter's blast.
