And all the sunshine from tbs hills

And tender shadows crept across the

O miller, gray p

DID ever you see -four so snowy whites
And many are the mouths to day I've

The merry miller laughed as this be
said.
I saw another when the night drew
And turned each daily toiler from
his task,
When gold and crimson cloudlets
decked the sky
"What have you done to day.

But the drink seller turned with Eroop

And not q single word in answer said.
What had he dOne3 His work, he
