spring is yea and nay,
autumn is a weather-cock
blown every way:
summer days for me
when every leaf is on its tree;


when robin's not a beggar,
and jenny wren's a bride,
and larks hang singing, singing, singing,
over the wheat-fields wide,
and anchored lilies ride,
and the pendulum spider
swings from side to side,


and blue-black beetles transact business,
and gnats fly in a host,
and furry caterpillars hasten
that no time be lost,
and moths grow fat and thrive,
and ladybirds arrive.

before green nuts embrown,
why, one day in the country
is worth a month in town;
