ON THE GRASSHOPPER AND THE CRICKET
The poetry of earth is never dead :
When all the birds are faint with the hot sun ,
And hide in cooling trees , a voice will run
From hedge to hedge about the newmead
That is the grasshoppers - he takes the lead
In summer luxury ,- he has never done
With his delights, for when tired out with fun
He rests at ease beneath some pleasant weed

The poetry of earth is ceasing never :
On alone winter evening , when the frost
Has wrought a silence , from the store there shrills
The Crickets song , in warmth in creasing ever ,
And seems to one in drowsiness half lost ,
The grasshoppers among some grassy hills .
