POOR LISETTE.

Badly the quails i'm the cortland pipe,
|rhe yellow harvest Is bending ripe;
{sayiy the children each other greet,
Wandering down through the village street.
Ssy the garden gate leans poor Lisette;
4 Her lover" they whisper, comes not yet.
She looks afar to the edge of the sky, :,
Where blue and misty the mountains lie.
What sudden echoes of fife and drum
kDown the long, dim, winding valley come!
% bring they news for poor Lfsctte-
Rapture at last or LIES regret!
High ring the bugle notes, so sweet;
Nearer the rythmic tramp OF feet;
What tempest PUSHES to clasp Lisette;
With lips so warm and with eyes so wet!
She is safe i'm her lovers arms at last;
lake n dreary dream Is the empty past;
[fhe music OF JOY in her glad heart plays
And morning glows In her radiant face.
while clearly the quails in the cornfeld pipe,
knd silent the harvest Is bending ripe,
And the children shout to the fife and drum
THAT pain Is over and peace Is come.
