 Like rustic censer gently swung. 



How slight the tie tliat lightii/ l)inds 



Tliy weight ttte swinging boughs among ! 



I bend above with loving eyes 



" To peep into the doiony liome, 

 Then, with a start of quick surprise 



Set off across the fields to roam, 

 n'hoo — whnnp ! There are, as near as can be guessed, 



Four hundred thousand hornets in that nest!"
