COLIN AND MAY.
She dwelt in utter solitude The dingy hills among; Till Colin came, and she was wooed} And won, fox thus he sung: "When bitter,- bitter is the, blast The barren-hills between, .-- I long to olasp thee close and fast And shelter thee, my* queen. " When birdies mate upon the bough, And all the world is bright', . My spirit bounds to thine, and how I tingle with delight. " When bleating flocks are freshly shorn, When fields of fragrant hay Are mown, how blessed in the morn To woo my winsome May. . • - " And wilen the .modest harvest moon. . Doth glorify the- dew, -- - ~ How sweet besid&Tthe still lagoon. To say,l,love thee true." - - And, oh! Bis -arms were strained around _ Her thrilling, tender form, ' " ,J, J And on her trembling -face she found His'lnsses, kind and warm: , She dw*Hs in sacred, solitude The lonely hills, among, And> there where first her Colin wooed , At even' his songs are sung. -hCrabi.es Morrison. Kahoutera, February. 21, 1903. '
