SPEAR O’er a landscape array’d in the verdure of June, While the sky was serene, and the birds were in tune, From his vine-cover’d home, with his dog and his toy, Went the glad-hearted youth in the hey-day of joy. He saunter’d away in his quest of delight, As heedless of rest as a bird in its flight, Allur’d by the flowers, and sooth’d by the gale, O’er the green-sloping hill and the fair sunny vale.
