It is always pretty, I say, but this evening it had received some fresh baptism of beauty, as if the Day knew what was coming, and had Pranked herself in her very best for the festival.
"Melody The Story of a Child"
Laura E. Richards

"By Pike and Dyke: A Tale of the Rise of the Dutch Republic"
G.A. Henty
Summer Images Now swarthy summer, by rude health embrowned, Precedence takes of rosy fingered spring; And laughing joy, with wild flowers Pranked and crowned, A wild and giddy thing, And health robust, from every care unbound, Come on the zephyr's wing, And cheer the toiling clown.
"Poems Chiefly From Manuscript"
John Clare
