The insect world amid the suns and dew Awake and hum their tiny songs a new And climb the tottergrass and blossoms stem As huge in size as mighty oaks to them And rushy burnets on the pasture rise As tall as castles to their little eyes Each leaf's a town and the smooth meadow grass A mighty world whose bounds they never pass E'en spots no bigger than the husbandman's Or shepherd's noontide dwarf shrunk shadow spans Or e'en the milkmaid tripping thro' the dew Each space she covers with her slender shoe Seem to their view high woods in which they roam As lorn, lost wand'rers many miles from home, Creeping up bents and down whole weary hours And resting oft on the soft breasts of flowers Till age, in minutes long as years, creeps on Or waning summer warns them to be gone
