Présentation de l'éditeur
Last Autumn while having a sociable time, Mid the rustle of leaves and the smell of the thyme, Far out in the woods where the dryads still croon Their happiest rhythm and merriest tune, I was suddenly roused by the sound of a tread In the forest path lying a little ahead. Scarce a minute elapsed until within view, Came A pollo, A thena, and wee Cupid, too. With a swinging step onward they came with an air Of such freedom and health and of joy thats so rare, That I stopped on the trail and with eyes opened wide. Stood admiring their mold and magnificent stride. For each was imbued with the limitless wealth Of a full and a perfect original health; They seemed to be strangers to weakness and woes; To Cares and all burdens, inclusive of clothes.
