This was Cobweb's favorite place, and if I missed her out in the garden I knew I should find her here, with the sun rising ashower of golden beams through the network of leaves overhead, to dance and flash among the waving tresses of her golden hair. One day I tound her leaning on a dead bough which crossed an open- ing in the wood, where all seemed of a delicate twillight green. She was listening intently to the song of a bird overhead, and as I stopped short gazing at the picture before me with asigh-- 'All that's bright must fade! My darling, I wish I had your likeness as you stand, Time flies,' I mutter ed, 'and winter comes at last, with bare trees to the woods--gray hairs and wrinkles to the old.'
