John Henry Brown (1859-1846)
The storm has spent its strength, and a pure peace
Comes with the restful eve; a spirit clear,
Presence cool and fragrant, brings release
From care, and low, sweet voices soothe and cheer.
The air is vocal: the blithe grasshopper,
In the still distance, hold a concert high,
As for the courts of heaven; and more near,
Beneath the glistening maple sprays, where lie
The scattered diamonds in the matted grass
The cricket's silvery interlude is heard.
But when beside the river's bank you pass,
A wondrous singing comes, as if a bird
Had given its song to every wayside weed,
And melody had sprung from every seed.
