      IT was more than an icicle. More like an icy boulder, oversized and murkily white, faceted like a cartoon jewel and, shortly, dripping. It had lurked beneath a low stone bridge at the bottom of the wood, where sycamore thickets bald for winter gave w

      He owns the bird-songs of the hills—

      The laughter of the April rills;

      And his are all the diamonds set

      In Morning's dewy coronet,—

      And his the Dusk's first minted stars

      That twinkle through the pasture-bars

      And litter all the skies at night

      With glittering scraps of silver light;—

      The rainbow's bar, from rim to rim,

      In beaten gold, belongs to him.
