. Poems of life in the country and by the sea. POEMS FROM LIFES EXPERIENCE THE COTTAGER When the setting sun with its slanting the fleecy clouds paints a crimson the swallows nest in the roof of thatch,Then his door swings wide with its loosened latch,And the cottager loves in his easy chairTo sit and rest in comfort there. To him kind Nature gifts will bring,The flowers will bloom, the birds will the waving grass on the hillsides greenIs a picture fair as the eye hath seen ;And though he works and digs the envys not the idle rich. For when his long days work is done,Work since the rising of the little children often comeTo meet him ere he reaches home, And happy pass the evening hoursAmid the vines and leafy bowersThat cluster round his cottage door;Contented there, he wants no more. Theres happiness in country from the endless toil and strifeThat often mar and leave their traceOn many a one-time happy face. 80. cW ^ O o ? o « in S o \0 1/1 U 03 o .0 E
