And iuusM ■ Ing; the IHy capa Xiia: 'v bees lullig over; And sniishinr over the Imy bilis, And over tU i Aod I wlshed thal the sun and summer day Jtttght sliiiic and last fprever. (Je iratke I dtwn by ttie roeartow patlfc, The broad filgBway fóreaklng, For the qrilet of thal lovely spot Beemed botter fbronr love-maktng; Ani'I was sllent Bad abc was sliy, As we walked down tlwaugh tlie clover, B'.u we tboaght it tinswoftost summer day That ever the sun shone over. Tre hearfT the bircls in the wavlliff grass, As tticy twlttewd n each other Abont the nests they had blddea uvny, And the coo of each glad bird-inotht-r ; And we tliought, as wc walked that summer diiy Throiifili the clover blooms together, That nt last the woi-ld iras In perfect tune, In the glad, bright summer weather. I can not teil what I gaid to her As we walked knee-deep in clover; Bnt I know that the robins merrlly sang Their sweetest of sweet stfkgfl over, An(i down n my lioart lovt's own blrd sang A song that was gladder, sweeter, Aud its echo Jolued wlth the world's sweet hymn, And made the day completer. And when we carne np the meadöw path, Our hearts saus over aud over " O sweet, glaa day for blossom and blrd, And for every blithe yoons lover ! " And vet I know not tho wonls she suld, Or whether she spoko at all ; But of all sweet days, that suramer day Lcount as the best of all. CePkipnrpg
