DAISIES on THE FARM.

She painted them on canvas
With a rapt, artistic air,
She wore them In her bodice,
And in her raven hair.
; he thought farm life idyllic,
And said its greatest charm
Was lent 1t by the daisies,
The daisies on the farm.
"Do you not love the daisicsYu
To the farmers son she saith,
But all the praise he uttered
Was underneath his breath.
1t sounded energetic,
But she felt vague alarm
That he did not love the daisies,
TIC daisies on the farm.
She read to him poem,
A pastoral completes;
lie seemed unsympathetic,
Though her voice was very sweet.
With some repressed emotion
His face grew dark and warm,
For its burden was the daisies,
The daisies on the farm.
Soon the charming summer boarder
To her city home returned,
For soul OF higher longing
Her aesthetic nature yearned.
And the farmers son, undaunte1,
With his scythe upon his arm,
Went to battle with the daisies,
The daisies on the farm.
