. Poems of life in the country. POEMS FROM LIFES EXPERIENCE THE COTTAGER When the setting sun with its slanting raysOn the fleecy clouds paints a crimson blaze,And the sparrows nest in the roof of thatch,Then his door swings 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 sing,And the waving srrass on the hillsides greenIs a picture fair as the eye hath seen;yd though he works and digs the ditch,He envys not the idle rich. For when his long days work is done,Work since the rising of the sun,His 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 life,Free from the endless toil and strifeThat often mar and leave their traceOn many a one-time happy face. 80. ^^.^i^ so ^O cl 5u •iu bo o
