A RUSTIC PICTURE

The sunset From royal purpled gold
1t slowly fades into of gray.
The sheep and sheepets hasten to the fold.
The lamhkins wearied from the meadow play
The chickens put their tired feet to bed
Beneath their feathered bodies on the roost
Up to the yawning NOW door overhead
The farmer gives the made hay boost,
And twilight falls with of soothing rest
As poultice the earth sunbllstered breast
The whippoorwills cut didoes in the air.
The songbirds hasten to their leafy nooks
To rustic the balmy breezes bear
The limpid music of the babbng brook,
The 1.-the milklady to the barnyard trips
Into the presence of the waiting
From whose pronged fount the lacteal surplus drip
As labor sweat from off the hired mans brow,
And, dodging oft the restless, switching tail
Transfers the fluid sweet from fount to pail
Yet deep grow the shades, while countless eyes,
That twinkle in glad celestial nrth
Look down through peepholes in the arching skies
Upon the grim old gloom enshrouded earth.
The fame by the light of Standard oil

Sews blinds seats Of perforated pants,
