June - by Lowell
What is so rare as a dayin June?
Then, if ever, come perfect days;
Then I-jeaven tries earth if it be in tune,-
And
une,And over it softly her warm ear lays:
Whether we look or whether we listen,
We hear life murmur, or see it glisten;
Every clod feels a stir of might,
An instinct within it that reaches and-,
towers,
And groping blindlyabove it for light,
Climbs to.a soul in grass and flowers;
The flush of life may well be seen
Thrilling back over hills and valleys;
The cowslip startles in meadow's
green,
The buttercup catches the sun in its
chalice,
And there's never a leaf nor a blade
too mean - �, . •. • `;; 3- r
