On the grasshopper and cricket

:The Poetry of earth is never dead

,When all the birds are faint with the hot sun
And hide in cooling trees, a voice will run
;From hedge to hedge about the new-mown mead
That is the Grasshopper’s—he takes the lead
In summer luxury,—he has never done
With his delights; for when tired out with fun
.He rests at ease beneath some pleasant weed
:The poetry of earth is ceasing never
On a lone winter evening, when the frost
Has wrought a silence, from the stove there shrills
,The Cricket’s song, in warmth increasing ever
,And seems to one in drowsiness half lost
.The Grasshopper’s among some grassy hills
