Figure descriptions
Illustrated poem page divided into three sections. The final two stanzas of the poem
text are let in to a blank rectangular
space at the left side of the illustration. The rectangular space is designed to look
like a sheet of paper: the top-right corner is
folded over. The first illustrated section, in the top-right corner of the page, contains
a scene overlooking a body of water. There
is a house at the water’s edge. Trees and bushes grow around the house and along the
shore. Mountains rise in the distance across
the body of water. This scene is contained within a medium-weight rectangular border.
The second section, in the bottom-right corner
of the page, contains a view of mountain scenery. There are coniferous trees in the
foreground and a tall mountain peak in the
background. Large stones lie among the trees. This scene is contained within a medium-weight
oval border. The first and second
illustrated sections are superimposed over the third illustrated section, which occupies
the remainder of the poem page. In the
third section, there is an enlarged bouquet of wild plants and flowers. Some of the
plant life breaks the borders of the previously
described sections. The full-page illustration is contained within a dark, medium-weight,
rectangular border. The background appears
to be lightly shaded.
