6. A near-by display of leaf -cover, of elegant design. 



7 . A display of wild flowers. 



The record of this study may consist of: 



1. The map above mentioned, with arrows marked upon 

 it indicating such views as above noted. 



2. Brief descriptive list of them, stating for each, 



(a) What elements of the view most appeal to you as 

 being beautiful. 



(b) What kinds of wild things nature has chiefly used to 

 make it so. 



'The little cares that fretted me, 



I lost them yesterday 

 Among the fields above the sea 



Among the winds at play 

 Among the lowing of the herds 



The rustling of the trees 

 Among the singing of the birds, 



The humming of the bees. 



'The foolish fears of what may happen 



I cast them all away 

 Among the clover-scented grass, 



Among the new mown hay, 

 Among the husking of the corn 



Where drowsy poppies nod 

 Where ill thoughts die and good are born 



Out in the fields with God. 



Elizabeth Barrett Browning
