of young robins is out and flying. The young 

 cat-birds are just hatching. Mother birds are 

 everywhere in daily expectation. The air is 

 full of love songs and parental care. There 

 are only two fruits that are red and ripe in 

 June, strawberries and cherries, but they are 

 ample for one month. The birds know their 

 opportunity and boldly claim their portion. In 

 the garden June glorifies work. Every tool is 

 in use and kept bright and tempting for hand 

 exercise. Every tree is full leaved and every 

 leaf is plump and rich in Summer color. Some 

 early hay has been cut. The cows are in the 

 rich pastures in great content for flies have not 

 yet hatched to any extent. The brooks are 

 still full but no longer noisy. Daisies are blos- 

 soming, bright eyed and attractive. The bees 

 are alert, 



"Seeing only what is fair 

 Sipping only what is sweet." 



O this beautiful June how it appeals and 

 coaxes ; — 



"Whether we look or whether we listen, 

 We hear life murmur or see it glisten."
