Baker Farm

        Sometimes I rambled to pine groves, standing like temples, or

        like fleets at sea, full-rigged, h

        tiful fungi adorn tumps, like

        butterflies or sable winkles; whe sink and

        doghe

        wild    heir

        beauty, aed by nameless other wild

        forbidden fruits, too fair for mortal taste.    Instead of calling on

        so    a bole aifully liced, perfe all its
