(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, 
T 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
