Water and plains, and waving trees,
The skim of birds and the blue-doming skies

EPIGRAPH: Jenny kissed me when we met,
Jumping from the chair she sat in.
Time, you thief, who love to get
Sweets into your list, put that in.
Say i'm weary, say i'm sad;
Say that health and wealth have missed me;
Say i'm growing old, but add--
Jenny kissed me!

EPIGRAPH: I pray thee write me, then, As one, at least, who loves his fellow-men. The angel wrote and vanished. The next night He came again with great awakening light. And showed those names which love of God had blessed, And lo ! Ben Adam's name led all the rest!
