Song of the Flail.

In the autumn, when the hollows
All are filled with flying leaves
And the colonies of swallows
Quit the quantity succeed caves
And a silver mantle glistcns
Over all the misty vale
Sits the little wife and listens
To the beating of the fail
To the pounding of the fail
BY her cradle sits and listens
To the iapping of the fail.
The bright summer days are over
And her eye no longer sees
The red bloom upon the clover
The deep green upon the trees;
flushed the songs of finch and robin,
With the whistle of the quail
But she hears the mellow throbbing
Of the thunder of the al.
The low thunder of the fail
Through the amber air the throbbing
And rcvrrbcrating fail
In the barn the stout young thresher
Shopping stands with rnllcd-up sleeves.
Beating out his golden treasure
From the ripped and rustling shraNes
oh, was ever knight i'll armnr-
Warrior all i'll shining mail
Half 50 handsome as her farmer
As hc plies the flying fail,
As he wirlls the flashing fail -
The barc-throated, l'"nwn Young farmer
As Il" swings the s"undin. ilnil
All the hopes that the sowing.
All the sweet desire of gain,
All the joy that watched the growing
And the ycllnwing "f the grain,
And the love that went l." Woo her
And the faith that shall not fail
All are speaking softly t" her
In the pulses of the iiail
OF tn" palpitating hail
Past and Future whisper To her
In the music of the hail
In its crib their bnbc j. sleeping.
And the sunshine from the dn"r
IL the afternoon is creeping
slowly round upon the il"nr;
And tn" shadows soon will dark,n
And til" daylight soon must pale,
When the wifi IL" more shall hcarkcn
1" the tramping of the ilail.
7" the dancing nt the tal-
When her heart no more shall hcarken
To 'hc football of the tlail.
And the babe shall grow and strengthen
BE "A maiden, he a wife
While the moving shadows lcngthrn
Round the dial OF their life.
Theirs the trust of friend and nrighbnr
Ii'i nat,
When machines shall do the labor
OF the strong arm and the fail
OF the stout heart and the fail
Great machines perform the lab":
OF the good old fashioned tail.
But when blessed among women,
And when, hun"rcd among men,
They look round them can the hrimming
OF their utmost wishes then
Give them happiness c"mp"trr
And can ease and wealth aVnil
To make any music swcctrT
Than the pounding of the tlail
oh, the sounding of tn" fail
Never music can bc swectcr
Than the heating of the Hail
