An Idyl.

saw her first on day in spring,
By tie side of stream, as ! fished
along,
And lOitered to hear the robins sing,
And guessed at the secret they told in
sopg.
The apple blossoms. so white and red,
Were mirrored beneath in the stream
let's flow;
And the sky was blue far overhead,
And far in the depths of the brook be-
low.
! lay half hid by messy stone
And looked in the water for flower
and sky,
heard a step-I was not alone:
And the vision of ioveliness met my
eye.
l saw her come to the other side,
And the apple blossoms were Rot more
fair;
She stopped to gaze in the sunlit tide,
And her eyes met mine in the water
there.
She stopped in timid and mute surprise
And that look might have lasted till
now, i ween;
But modestly dropping her dove-like
eyes,
She turned her away to the meadow
green.
stood in wonder and rapture lost
At her slender form and her step SO
free,
At her raven locks 10y the breezes tossed
As she kicked up her heels in the siI
for glee.
The apple blossoms are withered now
But the sky, and the meadow, and
stream are there;
| And whenever | wander that way vow
That some dav I'll buy me that little
black mare.
