John Singer Sargent, A Tent in the Rockies

The fieldling flower it thrives the best
The farthest off from every eye
The bird is happier on her nest
Where but the sheep go grazing bye
Ah me I think that I could rest
& think & sleep deliciously
A time worn forrests hermit guest
& fix a tent beneath a tree
