No. 4 



Only a little forest-brook 



The farthest hem of silence shook; 



When in the hollow shades I heard — 



What is it, a spirit or a bird? 



Or, strayed from Eden, desolate, 



Some Peri calling to her mate, 



Whom nevermore her mate would cheer? 



" Peri! peri! peer! " 



From "The Pewee," by J. T. Trowbridge.
