ioo Language Through Nature 



Though with sheltering love and sweet kindness I 

 stood, 



The forester came with his ax gleaming bright, 



And I fell like a giant, all shorn of his might ! 



Yet still there must be, 



Some sweet mission for me : 



For have I not warmed you and cheered you to- 

 night? " 



So said the .Wood in the fire 



To the little boy that night - 



The little boy of the golden hair, 



As he rocked himself in his little arm-chair 



When the blaze was burning bright.
