A Water-Color.

    By James Whitcomb Riley



        Low hidden in among the forest trees
            An artist's tilted easel, ankle-deep
        In tousled ferns and mosses, and in these
            A fluffy water-spaniel, half asleep
                Beside a sketch-book and a fallen hat -
                A little wicker flask tossed into that.

        A sense of utter carelessness and grace
            Of pure abandon in the slumb'rous scene, -
        As if the June, all hoydenish of face,
            Had romped herself to sleep there on the green,
                And brink and sagging bridge and sliding stream
                Were just romantic parcels of her dream.
