MORNING ON THE FARM.
When the white dove coos to his drowsy mate, And the birds in the tree rejoice, Old Brahma stands at the garden gate, And shouts in a lu?ty voice: " I feel better this mor-rning !" And the Bautum thinks its true, For he answers back in a tenor tone : "Without—a doubt—you do-o !" The house dog lies with his head on his paws, And blinks at the morning call ; The cat with a field mouse in her jaws Comes running home on the wall ; While Brahma heralds the morn again And the Bantam takes the cue: " I feel better this mor-rning !" " Without—a doubt—you do-o !"
The birds with a glorious burst of song Make glad the orchard boughs ; - And the farmer, swinging his pails along, Goes out to milk the cows. The work ot the day begins again, And the roosters call anew : " I feel better this mor-rning !" " Without—a doubt—you do-o !"
