The shadows lie sleeping on field and hill;
The COWS came home an hour ago;
The bees are hiyed, and the nests are still
Where can the child be lingering so?
Oh, where can the little laggard stay?
So swift of foot as she ever has been;
1t is not so far, by the meadow way,
To the lane where the blackberry vines
begin.
Her mother stands in the doorway there
Shading her eyes from the setting Hlfn,
And UP and down, with an anxious air,
Looks for trsee Of the truant one,
Hasshe wandered on where tlie the siig

Your little maiden iseaie the while.
Nomarsh-bird sCreaia iIi startled ears
No forest mazes her feet begdile:
She is only standing amid the rye,
There at the end OF the clover-plain,
And pulling daisy-star, to try
Whether her love loves back again:
And Will bends over the bars beside
Two heads are better than one, forsooth!
Leaning and looking, eager-eyed,
To see il the daisy tells the truth!
