THE ARBOR DAY LADY 
AS MUCH AS THESE 
And were we out of doors as much as these 
Insistent glimpses show? 
It seems as if we never had to go 
Inside the house at all, 
But, scorning roof and wall, 
Just pitched our lives beneath the blessed 
trees. 
I KNEW BY THE SMOKE 
“I knew by the smoke that so gracefully 
curled 
Above the green elms, that a cottage was 
near; 
And I said, ‘If there’s peace to be found in this 
world, 
A heart that was humble might look for it 
here.’ ”
