THE COUNTRY LAssIE.

She blossomed in the country,
Whore sunny summer hings
Her rosy arm around the oarth;
And brightest blessings brings;
Health was her sole inheritance,
And grace her only dover;
I never dreamed the wild wood
Contained so sweet q flower.
Far distant from the city,
And inland from the sea,
My lassie bloomed in goodness !
As pure as pure could be;
6he caught her dewy freshness,
From hill and mountain bower,
] never dreamed the wild wood
Contained so sweet a flower.
The rainbow must have lent her
Some Of its airy grace;
The wild rose parted with blush
That nestled on her face;
The sunbeams got entapgled 10
The long waves Of her hair,
Or she ne'er had grown to be
So modest and 80 fair.
The early birds have taught her
The joyous matin song,
And SOME OF their soft innocence
She's been with them SO long,
And for her now, if need be,
I'd part with wealth and power;
never dreamed the wild wood
Contained SO sweet flower.
