farmer. He had two children-Lucy, no.

two Younger The first was winningly rather

In the quiet of the evening
Two are walking in unrest; l-
Man has touched jealous nature
Anger burns in womans breast.
(These are neither wed nor plighted
Yet the maybe hangs as near
And as fragrant as the wild rose
Which their garments hardly clear,
And as briery, too, you fancy!
Well, perhaps so-some sad morn
One or both may, for moment,
Wish they never had been born.)
Happy qnips and honest pleadings
Meet with silence or a sneer;
But more keenly has she listened Ill
Since she vowed she would not hear.
Now q great oak part,the pathway,
"Naturell crafty your mood;
To the right, let this divide you;
It will all be understood ;a=s't
So Caprice, with childish weakness,
2 Yet with subtlety of thought, ay
Whispered in the ear Of woman -"
Love, with dread, the answer sought.
Was it superstitous feeling
Struck at once the hearts Of two?
Had he seen proud eyes half sorry
Fer what little feet must do?
For he stretched an arm towards her,
Folding nothing but the air,
Saying nothing-just the molten
Drew, without offending there.
In the quiet of the evening
Two were walking back again:
At the oak, their happy voices
Whisper of vanished pain.
Whatif they tonight be plighted
And the maybe hangs more near
And more fragrant than the wild rose,
Which their garments hardly clear?
And more briery, too, you fancys
Well, perhaps SO. Thorns are i'll,
But Love draws them out SO kindly,
One must trust him, come what will.
