XXXIV. THE INVITATION.

I know a grassy nook
Where the brightest flowers spring,
And the sweetest birdlets sing
To the singing of a brook:

A little mossy lair,
Where the shy and blushing morn
Comes a-peeping through a thorn
Prankt with blossoms snowy fair:

And, fringed with daisies white,
Is a verdant cushion spread,
With green boughs overhead
Shutting out the sunbeams quite.

Come to my fairy nook:
Fresh as dew and glad as day
We will sing the time away
To the singing of the brook.
