Nïght on the Farm. Now all clucked homo to thelr feather bods Aro tlie velvety chickn of the downy heads, In the.old Dtitcli style with the bedst above, All under the wings of a hovering love, With a fow chinked in, as plump as wrens, Arouod the edge of the ruffled hens ï With nose on thi graas the dog koepa gaard, With long-drawa brfiatliH in the nUl fartn-yard Tho cattle stanci on tho scatteriid stravr And coasö the fl'.ving of the unrtpr jaw. The cat's eyes Bhiue in the currant bush, Dew on the grasa and stars in the hnsh, And over the jnarnh tüe lightniug-bug Is swinging hin lamp to the bull-frog's chug, And the lender ohapfl in tho greenish tights, That jingle and trill the Blcigh-bclls nights. The ehapes with the padded feet prowl round, And the crescent inoon has rna aground, And the inky beetles blot the nipht And have blunderod out the candle light! And everywhere the inllows fair Are printed with heads of tumblod hair. Timo walks the houee with a clock-tick tread, Without and within the farm's abed!
