The Milking Time.

That made the eve so musical, the morning
half so long
As a picture in my memory, a merry song
4 know,
AS 1 heard it on an evening when the sun
was sinking low,
And the shadows and the sunlight and the
mld~eyed, waiting kline,
With the pasture sloping greenly to the
forests ragged line
And a maiden at her milking and the sky
that smiled above
Wrought a rural panorama in a paradise
of love;
While the streams Of milk went laughing in
a merry monotone,
Singing plainly good it is not for man to
live alone
And a melody of morning mingled in a
vesper rhyme
That sweet Dolle's voice was grooming at
the happy milking time;
Dear Dollie at her milking when our souls
were all a-rhyme,
To the sweetness and completeness of the
merry milking time
II.
From the fence along the woodland rose
the brown quail's evening call,
And his good night sang the robin, as the
dews began to fall. -
While from out the gloomy thicket, family
fading Ger the hill,
Came the lonely voice of sorrow in the cry
of "whip-poor-will,
But no song of bird or insect could on mel
ody prevail
With two streams of milk falling through
her brown hands in the pail;
With two streams of milk falling and the
song she murmured low
OF two happy lovers meeting at the sunset,
long ago.
O, never saw picture and never heard
a song
That made the eve so musical, the morning
half so long
AS that ,old picture painted on loves tapes
try of rhyme,
| Of the merry country maiden at the dear,
old milking time;
| AS that song the soul remembers and re-
| peats in every cline,
| OF sweet Dollie's love enchanted at the
