Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from In Woods and Fields
Note how the heifers on the sward Leap and curvet without a yoke.
Sweet lover of a rustic lot, Your ghost e'en warms to life again, And haunts about this sunny spot, And sheds a grace o'er boorish men.
The pretty calves scarce praised in rhyme Or flattered by the poet's art, With satin coat and breath Of thyme, Are fair as wild gazelle or hart.
How bright their eyes are looking forth From foreheads soft and silky brown, Where, shy and with infantile mirth, White horns peep o'er the shaggy crown!
