FROM THE GERMAN OF HEINRICH voss,
The maiden with brown eyes and hair
Came Ger the dewy meadows;
The n!ghtingaes were singing clear,
Among the evening shadows.
saw and heard her stepping free;
She passed like sunshine DER the lea;
saw she was the girl for me!
Her skirts were lifted from the dew!
Her bodice fitted tightly;
Her plated hair, her apron blue,
The night breeze waited lightly.
Her stockings white as white could be;
Said ], that maiden fair TO see,
Is just the very gill for me.
The brindle COW her call obeyed,
Come all the meadows through;
And as she MIXED, said I, "Sweet maid,
God shield thee from all sorrown'
She looked with eyes SO bright and free;
Said !, she is the girl for me;
She shall my hearts beloved be!
Her eyes they seemed 10 answer YES
My heart with love was gushing;
And contrived my lips TO press
Upon her warm cheek, blushing-
That blushing cheek, so fresh to see!
sad ! this maiden, fair and free,
She is the very girl for me!
helped her over hedge and s,iIe,
With frolhy milk pail laden;
And sang to scare the goblin vile
That might alright the maiden;
For now 'tvos dark he hush and tree,
And said |, "Nlaiden dear TO me,
Wilt thou my hearts beloved be-"
-" Wherefore so late!" her mother cried,
In wrath her daughter viewing.
"Soft, gentle mother" seplied,
"Thy daughter l've been woong!
Give thy consent-then blessed are we!
Sweet mother, give consent, for she
Is willing my beloved to be-"
