LOVE IN A COTTAGE.


You may talk Of love in cottage,
And bowers of trelised vine,
OF Nature bewtchingly simple,
And milk maids half divine;
You may talk of the pleasure of sleeping
In the shade of wide spreading tree,
Or walk in the wood at morning,
by The side Ola fooistep free.
But give me sly filtration,
BY the light Of chandelier,
With music TO play in the pauses,
And nobody very near;
Or seat on silken sofa,
And G lass of pure old wine,
And mamma too blind to discover
The nice white hand in mino.
Your love in cottage is hungry,
Your vine is nest for flies,
Your milk-maid shocks the graces,
:. And simplicity talks of pies;
You lie down to your shady slumber,
And wake with bug in your ear,
And the damsel who walks in the morning
Is shod like a mountaineer.
True love is at home on carpet,
And NIGHTLY likes his ease,
And true love has an eye fora dinner,
And starves beneath shady trees;
His wing is the fan of lady,
His foot an invisible thing,
His arrow is tipp'd with jewel,
And shot from silver string.
