Sweet Amele came tripping
Ger the fields 80 fresh WI clover:
Methinks I heard her say this morn:

Her sandalled feet do cover:
The mid-eyed kline about her browse
The skies smile soft above her.
Now HE thee on. sweet Amelie,
Nor linger By the hedges
OF hawthorn blossoms. pure and white
That sway DER rustling sedges.
But haste thee, ere the morning sun
Ton little cloudlets flushing,
Doth kiss thee on thy pretty checks,
And leave them all a-blushing.
She wandered on through hazel copse.
Ger fen and mOOTland stretches:
And when she had a-weary grown,
She thought "Ah. he u wretch isl
But soon. beneath a spreading oak,
She found the truaut dreaming;
His silver huntinc-horn upon

His sun-kissed. raven rincle,s shone,

But while she fed on nim1le feet
A-thinkng "N-ng ance bliss is"
Her lover caught her In his arms
And smothered her with kisses.
Her heart was melted by his love.
Warm as the sweet June weather;
Ana arm-in-arm, as lovers true,
