Boundin’ heart, and laughin’ eye,

In the twinklin’ sunlight walkin’;

Love, you tell me, passes by—

Wisha, Mary, don’t be talkin’.

THE WIREE’S SONG

The wiree sang that Christmas Day,

A rippling, limpid, liquid lay

In clump and cover trilling;

On ripened grain and gleaming road

The molten, golden sunlight glowed,
