A SNAKE - Sweet is the swamp with its secrets

Sweet is the swamp with its secrets,
Until we meet a snake;
'T is then we sigh for houses,
And our departure take
At that enthralling gallop
That only childhood knows.
A snake is summer's treason,
And guile is where it goes.

Who has not found the heaven below / Will fail of it above.

Superiority to fate / Is difficult to learn.
