ROADSIDE.
The little calf is tethered by the brook And stands on spindly legs in nibbled weeds. A willow gives it shade, but there is no one, No one at all, to tell'it what it needs— Clover or quitch grass or the brook-edge moss. So small a calf should alzvays have another To totter up against, or someone older To asb quaint questions of. Where is its mother? . Frances M. Frost.
