SECOND IMPRESSION

In June 't is good to lie beneath a tree
While the blithe season comforts every sense,
Steeps all the brain in rest and heals the heart,
Brimming it o'er with sweetness unawares.

LOWELL.

O friendly to the best pursuits of man,
Friendly to thought, to virtue and to peace,
Domestic life in rural leisure passed!

Few know thy value and few taste thy sweets;
Though many boast thy favors and affect
To understand and choose thee for their own.
COWPER, The Garden.
