on the branch of a tree. Multiple birds

a partial border around a section of poem
text in the top right corner of the page. 1/8 page.
A view of grassy land at the shore of a body of water. Trees are scattered along the
shore line and some of their branches
extend over the water. 1/4-page illustration contained within a single-ruled border.
Flowers and grasses, which grow at the base of
a tree, break the exterior border at the lower-right corner of the illustration.
Three trees grow out of grassy, uneven land. Only the trunks of the trees are shown;
the tops trees grow beyond the scope of
the illustration. There is a large pile of branches in the foreground at the bottom
of the illustration, downhill from the trees.
This scene is partially contained within a thick single-ruled border on the left,
top, and right edges; the border only descends 1/4
of the left edge and 1/2 of the right edge, stopping before it reaches the pile of
branches. A single branch grows behind the
border’s top edge. This scene is superimposed over a shaded background, which appears
to form a thick secondary border around the
illustrative content. Full page.
