mown hay; we have read of the maid
in the early morn, who MIXED the COW
with a crumpled horn; and we've read
the lays the poets sing, of the rustling
corn and the flowers OF spring; but of
all the lays of tongue or pen, there's
naught like the lay of the Colorado hen.
Long. long before Maud raked the hay,
the Colorado hen had begun to lay: aud
ere the milkmaid stirs peg, the hen
is up and has dropped her egg: the corn
must rustic and the flowers spring if
