The full ripe corn is bending
In waves Of golden ltsht;
The new rnown hay IS sending
It's sweetness upon the night;
The breeze is softly signing
To cool the parched flowers;

Weeps ferth its gentle showers;
The merry fish are playing,
Adown yon crystal stream;
And night from DAY is straying,
As twilight gives It's CLEAN.

Ting on its eastern base and tile dock

Immediately and take all the forts in

bullets in the arm and leg while direct
