We drove before the farmhouse uoof'
The farmer called to Mary,
Whiteaproned, from her dairy.
Her air. her smile, her motions, told
womanly completeness;
A music as of household songs.
Was in her voice of sweetness;
Aninborn grace that nothing lacked
OF culture or appliance
The warmth of genial courtesy,
The calm of self-relance,
Before her queenly womanhood
How dared our landlord utter
The paltry errand of his need
To buy her fresh churned butter?
She led the way with housewife pride,
Her goodly store disclosing,
Full tenderly the golden balls
With snow white hands disposing.
