IF YOU CANNOT READ IT, NO GROWN-UP FOLK CAN. Water babies and frogs playing leap-frog “I heard a thousand blended notes,
While in a grove I sate reclined;
In that sweet mood when pleasant thoughts
Being sad thoughts to the mind. “To her fair works did Nature link
The human soul that through me ran;
And much it grieved my heart to think,
What man has made of man.” Wordsworth.
