twas evening, and the village chimes
Most unsteady chome;
The graceful COW and warlike calf
Unanimous hied home;
The bleating sheep in chorus blote;
The squealing piggies squole;
The tout ensemble being quite
BucOlic as q whole.
Two lovers, happy, hand in hand
Stole Silly to the stile;
The crickets cricked; the owlets 'owlcd
Bats beat about the while;
The katydids in unison
Together katydodc;
The whippoorwills set up their cry
And ominously erode.
The genial skerter hummed his hymn,
And Lote dis baneful bite;
She tried to say tender poem,
But couldn't quote it quite;
And when lie cope mighty cape,
She smole.a sickly smile;
There was not (for the sake of rhyme)
A mole within mile.
She heaved mighty, deer-drawn sigh,
And lie in answer sOghed;
And round her taper, shrinking waist
His manly coat-sleeve glode;
Then, while the distant curfew pea
Lugubriously pole,
She drew picked onion forth,
And coyly ate it whole.

wonder that there is not some society
