to run, not walk;And that, too, makes my memory talk In a quiet way,Of how we escaped the shower that day. 71 POEMS FROM LIFES EXPERIENCE IN THE FOREST Roaming idly in the forest In the leafy month of June,Is a charm that yvraps the senses. When all nature is in tune.Beautiful in early morning Just to wander, careless, free.In the silence that is broken Only by the melodyOf the happy, joyous songsters. Praise of nature they intoneFar above the danger region, Each a king upon his throne. Sit upon the bank and listen While the brook across your pathRipples soft, and sunlight arrows Shoot a beauteous aftermath.Watch the branches gently swaying, Bowing to the summer breeze;See the ights and shadows playing. Woodland fairies mid the trees.Then look upward through the rifting.

Acting, meeting lifes demand.

Just the fairest picture there, To calm the troubled spirit. Like the breath of an angels prayer. A haze, like the rainbows shadow,Crept down the arched sky.Weaving with warp of moonlight A royal canopy,Whose folds were pinned with starlights,Whose beauty draped the sea,And
