Jimmy's Wooing.

Jimmy's Wooing.
The wind came blowing out of the West,
And Jimmy moved the hay;
The wind came blowing out of the West
1t stirred the green leaves out Of their rest,
And rocked the blue-bird up in his nest,
AS Jimmy moved the hay.
The swallows SKINNED along the ground,
And Jimmy moved the hay;
The swallows skinned along the ground,
And rustllng leaves made a pleasant sound,
Like the children babbling all around,
And Jimmy moved the hay.
Milly came with her bucket by,
And Jimmy moved the hay;
Milly came with her bucket by,
With her light foot so trim and sly,
And sunburnt cheek and laughing eye
And Jimmy moved the hay.
A rustic Ruth in linsey gown
And Jimmy moved the hay;
A rustic Ruth in linsey gown,
He watched her soft cheeks changing brown,
And the long dark lash that trembled down
Whenever he locked that way.
Oh! Mllly's heart was as good as gold
And Jimmy moved the hay.
Oh, Milly's heart was as good as gold;
But Jimmy thought her shy and cold,
And more he thought than e'er he told,
As Jimmy moved the hay.
The rain came pattering down amain-
And Jimmy moved the hay;
The rain came pattering down amain,
And under the thatch of the laden train,
Jimmy and Milly, cunning twain,
Sat sheltered bv the hay.
The merry rain-drops hurried in,
Under the thatch of hay
The merry rain-drops hurried in,
And laughed and pattered in din,
Over that which they saw within,
Under the thatch of hay.
For Milly nestled to Jimmy breast,
Under the thatch OF hay;
For Milly nestled to JImmys breast,
Like wild bird Auttering in its nest,i
And then I'll swear she looked her best
Under the thatch of hay.
And when the sun came laughing out
Over the ruined hay;
And when the sun came laughing out
Mllly had ceased to pet and pout,
And the twitterlng birds began to shout,
As if for wedding day.
