An Idle Maid.

They say am an idle lass, -.
They frown upon me as they pasSt
My gown becomes me and It's new
The butterflies are idle too!
The world has need Of butterflies
Else why fit they In sparkling guiseS
They bask in sunshine by the hour,
And ! rock In my lilac bower
With work and study far away.
What care for the words they sayl
l will not teach, will not sew.
Or tend the lettuce down the row.
But dance and sing and pretty be.
And walt the Prince that comes for me-
Some day I'll hear the Princes tread,
He'll stop beside my sweet rose bed.
He'll praise my cheeks. and praise my
hair,
And tell to me that am fair.
And then in state with him I'll go
To where the crystal fountains flow,
I'll dress In silks and linens fine.
With maids to bring for us the wine.
But be he poor. with love for me
That shining In his eyes I see.
Then I will keep his cottage trim,
And sew the seams. and bake for him.
