an Idyl.
BY j. P. d.

With stumbling gait and vacant smile
OF mingled innocence and guile,
A loutish ploughboy climbs the stie,
Whistling dubious tune the while;
And fingers by the sluggish pool,
Where safe behind their rushy screen,
The nimble frogs in jacket green,
Dodge the stone SHE'D with awkward mien.
And jeer exultant, "fool.''
On airy hills he hears the bleat
OF feecy fiocks, and, softly sweet,
In wales where shade and sunlight meet,
The robins each new conner greet;
And, as one hoodwinked, here and there,
With e'er uncertain feet he strays,
BY sunny homes and gloomy ways,
And laughs and weeps with every phase
4. The changeful scene may wear.
