The linden, in the fervors of July
Hums with a louder concert.
When the wind Sweeps the broad forest in its summer prime,
As when some master-hand exulting sweeps
The keys of some great organ, ye give forth
The music of the woodland depths, a hymn Of gladness and of thanks."
~ William Cullen Bryant, Among the Trees

Wouldn't it be just lovely to walk down that path on a nice warm summers day.
Jo, my soul always finds rest at your front porch. From the sweet and restful music to the poetry and absolutely wonderful pictures where the very hand of God has just swept by.

Puts head-in-hand, gazes longingly, and issues a healing "sigh."
Both are beautiful.
