IN CLOVER.

 There is clover, honey-sweet, Thick and tangled at our feet; Crimson-spotted lies the field, Blood-blotted like warriors sh;sid. Yngder poppies, full of scorn, Proudly wave above the corn. There is music ct ourJees' M Me cloUey, honey-sreee You may track the winds that blow Through the cornfields as they go; From the wheat, as from a sea, Springs the lark in ecstacy.
