Excerpt from The American Monthly Magazine, Vol. 1: April, 1829It is not mere poetry to talk of the voices of summer.' It is the day time of the year, and its myriad in¿uences are audibly at work. Even by night you may lay your ear to the ground, and hear that faintest of murmurs, the sound of growing thin s. I used to think when I was a child that it was fairy music. If you have been used to rising early, you have not forgotten how the stillness of the night seems increased by the timid note of the first bird. It is the only time when I would lay a finger on the lip of nature, - the deep hush is so very solemn. By and by, however, the birds are all up, and the peculiar holiness of the hour declines - but what a world of music does the sun shine on l - the deep lowing of the cattle blend ing in with the capricious warble of a thousand of God's happy creatures, and the stir of indus coming on the air like the under tones of a choir, and the voice 0 man, heard in the distance over all, like a singer among instruments, giving them meaning, and language! And then, if your ear is delicate, you have minded how all these sounds grew softer and sweeter as the exhalations of dew ¿oated up, and the vibrations loosened in the thin air.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
