The air w»| glad with a eweet perfume
In the etllly, twilight shadow;
And the nodding clover w^s all abloom.
And the bine grass swayed like a waving ploma.
In the heartof the fragrant meadow. '■
And my soul was glad with a wordless song,
That it whispered over and over;
And the light grew dimhnd the shadows long,
And my heart leaped high with Its passion strong,
As my eager feet strayed the blooms among
To meet my own true lover.
Angthe moments sped, and the start looked dows
From the deep bine sky above me;
And the earth was bright with ne'er a frown,
For my fancy wove for my life a crown.
With * brave, true heart to love me. .
And my lover came through the stilly night—
Came down through the dew-wet clover;
And my heart stood still with s strange affright,
And the world grew warm and glad and bright.
For he kiaeed me there iw the dim starlight.
My nanghty, nanghty lotef.
Perhaps twaa wrong, bat I coaid not pass
Throngh the nodding, dew-wet clover;
And the path ran narrow among the grass,
And I waa only a foolish lam,
And he a persistent lover.
Perhaps twaa wrong, but I could not move,
As be whispered o'er and over;
A tale that was sweet with the tones of loeo.
In a voter that was sweet as acooiug does;
And Btjr face grew hot, but I could not move
