SUMMER WAVES.

Exulting waters! how ye leap and laugh,
Instinct with rapture; while the restless beams
Of sunlight flash in sympathetic glee
O'er your glad bosom: hark! the hurried tones
Of sea-born music thrill the Air with mirth,
Till all around me, like a viewless swarm
Of bees, the humming atmosphere resounds.
Strand on Green, Kew, Sept. 1834.
