The Spotted ColO
ARTHUR EUGENE sMTTH.

Like ravens shadows of the night
Swoop DER the bosky hill
And sweet and clear again 1 hear
The old song. Whip poor will"
Adown the mountain pathway comes
The dear old spotted COW.
Go Bess! Co Bess! You're late; I guess,
You're growing old and slow"
Twas here beside this little gate
My mother used to stand
Long years ago my dear old COW,
To feed YOU with her hand:
But she who named you now is dead
Above her narrow grave
The grasses grow and white as snow
The fragrant lilies wave.
You were a pretty spotted calf
And sprishty as a fawn:
Would run and play the liveong day
Across the well-kept lawn
And do you miss her trembling hand
That held to you the grain?
Her kindly words, like those the birds
Repeat before the rain?
You've been to me a friend in need.
"a gen'rous friend and true
For eighteen years Of smiles and tears)
Ny gratitude's your due!
'Twould srieve my heart my bonnie beast
To sec you cold in DEATH
The nerveless thighs, the CLASSY eyes.
And nostrils void of breath!
'Twould grieve my heart at evenings hour
To seek the pasture way.
And call in vain while feI the rain
On hillsdes dark and grey!
To lean upon the olden gate
And scan the moonlit hill
Nor hear your feet naught hut the sweet
Song of the whip poor-wilI!
Your blythe companion is the thrush
With brown and mottled breast
VINO doth you greet with carols sweet
From limb anear his nest!
You look the daisy in the eye.
The rose upon the thorn:
And hear the notes from many threats
That greet the summer rrornl
Your lot is not unlike to mine.
When snow is on the lea
You give me. and you trust my hand
For bounties full and free:
Likewise. / look to One. whose care
l know will never cease;
And, day by day, l go my way
In perfect trust and peace!
