New Mown Hay.
The air was fragrant; the fields
Were warm with the passionate breath
OF Summer, pulsed with Earth's prime,
Fair, and defiant of death.
And sweet were the words that you said
There by the new-mown hay;
Do you remember it, dear?
The hope that was ours that day?
The air was fragrant the fields
Have been kissed to fuilness, and lie
Under the blaze of the sun;
Under the blue of the sky,
In the rapturouS sweetness of earth
The glory of new-mown hay.
But. ah, to forget-to forget
The dream of distant day.

longest drawn out haying season
Maine farmers have known for many
years. Here it is almost the middle OF
August, and lot of hay yet remains
uncut. 1t has been a poor season anC
great deal of hay has gone into The

will be less than last year.
