Chapter 38
Section 38 of Birds and All Nature, Volume 7, No. 5, May 1900, recorded for LibriVox.org by Tavarish. Look at nature! She never wearies of saying over her floral paternoster.

Autocrat The gorse is yellow on the heath The banks with speedwell flowers are gay The oaks are budding and beneath The hawthorn soon will bear the wreath
The silver wreath of May. Charlotte Smith End of section 38 This recording is in the public domain.
