The time of the nightingale the place to hear the first note; onwards to the drooping fern and the time of the redwing the place of his first note, so welcome to the sportsman as the acorn ripens and the pheasant, come to the age of manhood, feeds himself; onwards to the shadowless days the long shadowless winter, for in winter it is the shadows we miss as much as the light.
