SECOND WEEK] 



July 



189 



And the marsh is meshed with a million veins, 

 That like as with rosy and silvery essences flow 

 In the rose and silver evening glow. 



Farewell, my lord Sun! 



The creeks overflow; a thousand rivulets run 

 'Twixt the roots of the sod; the blades of the marsh grass stir; 

 Passeth a hurrying sound of wings that westward whirr. 



SIDNEY LANIER.
