4 COUNTRY SONG.

While The willow spreads her honey.
Come away!
Birds are singing. banks. are sunny:
Come away!
Leave the city's toll and thunder
For the bright, enhancing wonder
OF the May, May, May.
In green fields are young lambs bleatinG
Grove and coppice laugh their greeting.
Every steep an orchard seems.
Made for beauty. love and dreams:
Come away!
In the flush Of summer weather
Come away!
Youth and gladness yours together
For day.
Seek the meadows, axure-tented.
Dusky, coaxing. myffad-scented
With the hay. hay. hay.
Down the windrows' tumbled mazes
Crickets chirp the sun-god's praises:
There the firefiy's restless spark
Braids Its pattern on the dark:
Come away!
When the hoar-frosts Grip and whiten.
Come away.
Then the skies and forests brighten:
Come aWayi
Winds are whistling. nuts are falling.
Loud at dawn the marsh-hawk calling,
And the jay. jay. jay.
Autumn. wreathed with leaf and berry,
Treads q measure wild and merry;
Court her blessings ere they fly:
storms will rout you by and by
Come away.

But this accident only served to

shifting OF his own weight and the
manipulation of the rudder and the
ballast, to turn the craft around, raise
