THE SURPRISE.

Young Eorah is knitting

Deity her fingers
Round the thread nnEers,-
I4bo1,s Light web when Love ia the snare.
In and out,
Round nbout,
Needles and thinble,-
Over there,
Under here,
Dexter and nimble,-
Trolling iose-eong with never cate.
High up abore hero
The spreading trees cover
Her form reflected below III the strezm;
Tender and mellow,
IT'S raye n1nber yellow,
The Spring is peepin8 Like the Lights Of 1tea1
Bright her eye,
Sweet her siEh,--
Dreaming and thinking,
= Light and gay,
Through the day,
While the threads linking:
Her heart is a furnace, nnd LOVE 10 the steau~
Through the grove stealing,
Half-etsuliHg, half-ueeiing,
Watching the maid with tender delight
Stole gently her lover.
Afraid 6he'd fscove1,-
He glided along like . rogue IN tho n1shA
Not a breath
Stirred the heath,
Not leaf r,iated:
When awhile,
With s1nile,
Laughing they t1sseled,
A I'd, bending, ho gave her ldss for the fEtght.
