Pleasant sounds

The rustling of leaves under the feet in woods & under hedges    The crumping of cat-ice & snow down wood rides   narrow lanes & every street causeways     Rustling through a wood    or rather rushing while the wind hallows in the oak tops like thunder     The rustles of birds wings startled from their nests or flying unseen into the bushes      The whizzing of larger birds over head in a wood such as crows puddocks buzzards &c     The trample of roburst wood larks on the brown leaves & the patter of Squirrels on the green moss   The fall of an acorn on the ground   the pattering of nuts on the hazel branches ere they fall from ripeness     The flirt of the ground-larks wing from the stubbles    how sweet such pictures on dewy mornings when the dew flashes from its brown feathers
