THE LADY NOVEMBER.

The lady with the cloak of brown
Is walking on the hills.
She puts her baby seeds to bed
And locks the brooks and rills.
The rustic OF her alken skirt
Is mingled with the rain,
And everywhere she goes. she sings,
And this IL the refrain:
Good night and glad good morning,
My little children dear,
I'll tuck you in and bless you;
IT'S bedtime of the year."
The lady with the cloak OF brown
Goes walking in the night,
And children listen for her feet
And whisper in delight.
She comes across the stubble fields,
She taps upon the pane,
She shakes the leaves from all trees,
And croons her low refrain:
Good highland glad good morning,
oh. children in your beds,
My blossom babies are asleep
With leaf caps on their heads"
On wind-swept meadow walks;
She sees the withered blossom swing
And whispers to the stalks.
She bends above the empty nest
With words too low to hear.
Yet children know the song she
The love-song of the year.
Good night, and glad tomorrow,
Oh songster of delight,
The love that tuned thy melody
