They strolled along the meadow path,
And she looked Up and he looked down
Her checks were red, her brow was fair,
Her eyes were big and soft and brown
They passed along the meadow path.
Her laughter echoed in the air,
Far off the smoke hung DER the town,
And they were all alone out there
They strolled along the meadow path,
Until they reached the fence, when she
Exclaimed: Alas l cannot climb"
Then let me help you, please" said he,
He helped her up, rail after rail,
And looked upon her, anxious faced;
She leaned against him trustingly,
He had an arm around her waist.
At last they reached the top, and while
She sat there, trembling, and afraid
He jumped and, turning, with smile,
Reached upward for the lovely maid.
She trembled in his arms-somehow
Her lips touched his as she came down,
Away across the level fields
The smoke still hung above the town.
All, had he. but the day before,
Been safely hidden somewhere near
He might have seen her leaping DER
That fence as lightly as deer.
