Work rating:
Medium
Green little vaulter in the sunny grass
Catching your heart up at the feel of June,
Sole voice that`s heard amidst the lazy noon,
When ev`n the bees lag at the summoning brass;
And you, warm little housekeeper, who class
With those who think the candles come too soon,
Loving the fire, and with your tricksome tune
Nick the glad silent moments as they pass;
Oh sweet and tiny cousins, that belong,
One to the fields, the other to the hearth,
Both have your sunshine; both though small are strong
At your clear hearts; and both were sent on earth
To sing in thoughtful ears this natural song,--
In doors and out, summer and winter, Mirth.
