TURNING OUT THE COWS
(By Florence <l. Boyce). When the full shone on the mountains And the vales that lay between, And the snow had left the hillside And the knolls were getting green, How I used to wait impatient For the morning to appear, When wo'd turn the cows to pasture, In the springtime of the year. I can sec the dim old stable With -the cobwebs all about.; I can hear the tie chains cj an king When we turnetl the cattle out; 1 can sac them jump and caper As they raced along the lane, Glad to know they were returning To the well-known paths again.
Time is such a stern old master, -Setting tasks for you and me, And he keeps us moving forward From the happy used-to-be! But he cannot blot the picture That my memory treasures so, Whc-n we turned the cows to pasture In the springs of long ago.
