LENA'S PICTURE

Lee

Sue Spectator, Bie. 24/92,

PART I

THIS earth, embossed with mountains, laced with streams,
Starred with fair cities, ringed about with towers,
Whose face with hill and laughing valley gleams,
Whose shadowy woods are full of tender flowers,
The birds, the careless beasts beneath the moon,
And that conceited race of feeble man,

All hold their place by harmony, and soon

Sans friendship would sink out of nature's plan.
