Berrying

"May be true what I had heard,

Earth's a howling

Truculent with fraud and force,"Said I, strolling through the pastures,

And along the riverside.

Caught among the blackberry vines,

Feeding on the Ethiops sweet,

Pleasant fancies overtook me:

I said, "What influence me

Elect to dreams thus beautiful?"The vines replied, "And didst thou

No wisdom to our berries went?"
