 Seek in the garden-shades a seat, Far from the play-ground din; The sun is warm, the air is sweet: Stay till I call you in." A long and pleasant afternoon I passed in those green bowers; All silent, tranquil, and alone With birds, and bees, and flowers. Yet, when my master's voice I heard Call, from the window, "Jane!" I entered, joyful, at the word, The busy house again. He, in the hall, paced up and down; He paused as I passed by; His forehead stern relaxed its frown: He raised his deep-set eye. Not quite so pale," he murmured low. "Now, Jane, go rest awhile." And as I smiled, his smoothened brow Returned as glad a smile.
