" Birds and beasts. 

 And the mute fish that glances in the stream, 

 •And harmless reptile coiling in the sun, 

 And joyous insect hovering in the air. 

 The fowl domestic and the household dog, 

 In his capacious mind, he loved them all." 



WOP.DSWOKTH. 



' I bless Thee, Father, that where'er I go 

 A brotherhood of blessed creatures goes 

 With me, and biddeth me God speed. For all 

 Thy mute and innocent creatures take my thanks ; 

 To me they are child brethren without speech 

 Or sin."
