A Honlely Song.
I've stayed out half the night 10 watch
The winkin' stars at play;
I've laid beneath the trees n heard
The breeze sing on his way,
Caressin' all the purity leaves
Till they fluttered shyly--much
s any bashful gal'd dc
AT some mans .lovir' touch.
I've watched the flowers drinkin UP
Il The fresh II early dew,
A-holdin, OF II like q cup
Till got thirsty, too.
~ the r,nnin' streams like silver drean ms,
( With their tinklii' spell of song,
Where the golden sunshine gladly CLEANS,
AS they dance their way along.
~ the appul-bluoms-all smeliy-sweet,
N the vi'lct buds III hoods,
~ the little. sassy, scamp'rin' things,
A-hidin' in the woods;
N the mother-robin's CHEEKY note,
A-callin' soft n low,
II makes the ache come in my throat
Jest lovin Of EN- so.
