When skies are bineAnd threaded through

With skeins of sunlight spangles,And breezes blowQuite soft and low,

Amid the tree top tangles;When summer has the world in thrall,And joy is teovereign over all.Tis curious that a little birdShould utter such a wistful word

As ''Poor me I Poor me! "

.

When days a re longAnd limbs are strong,

And blithe with youth the t-easonWhen everythingIs tuned to spring

And rhyme and not to reason;When lite is all a holidayWith naught of care and much of play,'Tie sinful tbat a little maid

^Should such complaining words have__^^__ [said.
