HER MlLkINa-PAIL

To cross the deWy meadow;
The eastern sky was golden pale.
The valley lay in shadow;
1 followed slowly, not too near.
And softly, lest the maid should hear.
The wet. white daisies bent to touch
Her slender foot, and kiss it;
I envied them this pleasure much,
Since I'd been doomed to miss it:
And thought the flowers were treated
More kindly than some lovers are!
Behind a thorn stood to watch
Her coax the COW. and chide her;
And humming at merry catch,
Set the small stool beside her;
While freshly, as she could have
wished,
The milk through dimpled fingers
swished.
Thought 1, "This chance must not
miss!
Her mills-pail home I'll carry:
And in return, demand kiss,
For milkmaids are not chary;
The poets sing: If SWANS be brave,
Hence, my reward Ill boldly crave.
But when atVensth would have slept
Toward the maid with fervor,
Young Stephen DER the hedge had
leapt
With like intent to serve her:
And lest his chance might later fail,
Took, first, kiss. and then. the pail!
