The Tteason. Why,
.A.11, day long in the 1.vbeatfield
Young Donald e orks-with a will;
The red sun sets. and the stars come out,
And iledhite working still
Busily round the cottage,
And he whistles a merry thee;
He has worked that way and whistled so
gay
Fiver since a night last June.
Down in the old red farm -house
Over beyond the brook.
The farmer's daughter, Bessie,
Sits with ahappy look.
Axid she's sewing, sewing,sewhag,
And ehe'seinging a merry tuue;
She has eewed that way, aid
sung so gay,
Ever since a night last Juno.
Donald is training roso-vines
Over the cottage door;
And the o'd house wears a brighter look
Than ever it wore before.
And Bessie'e snow white sewing
Will stare be finished soon.
it's a wedding dress, it's safe to guess;
l've guessed it slime last June.
And that is the reason why Donald
Is working so early and late;
• And that is the why Bessie
Is growing so sedate.
And that is why her song in tbe morning,
ADS' his scythe -blade Fauna in tune;
There is work to do when lovers woo,
They have known it.siuce last June.
