ILLUSTRATIONS

FACING PAGE
Of the dim sweet woods, of the dear dark woods,
Of the heavenly woods and glades,
48
Affable live-oak, leaning low,— 50
Sinuous southward and sinuous northward the shimmering band
Of the sand-beach fastens the fringe of the marsh to the folds of the land.
52
A league and a league of marsh-grass, waist-high, broad in the blade,
Green, and all of a height, and unflecked with a light or a shade,
54
And the marsh is meshed with a million veins,
That like as with rosy and silvery essences flow
In the rose-and-silver evening glow.
