A SKETCH.
The summer sun is stealing fast away,
And merry children join in noisy mirth;
Laughing and leaping in the golden ray,
The wildest and the gayest things of earth.
And merry children join in noisy mirth;
Laughing and leaping in the golden ray,
The wildest and the gayest things of earth.
Fair forms are bounding rapidly about,
Light as the fairy imps in sylvan rings;
Drowning the blackbird's song with their wild shout,
And chasing down the moth with azure wings.
Light as the fairy imps in sylvan rings;
Drowning the blackbird's song with their wild shout,
And chasing down the moth with azure wings.
