A COUNTRYMAN'S SONG.

This is the weather the cuckoo likes, And so do I; When showers betumble the chestnut spikes, ’ And nestlings fly: And the little brown nightingale bills his nest, And they sit outside the "Travellers’ | Rest," , And maids come forth sprig-mustlin drest, | And citizens dream of the south and west, And so do I. This is the weather the shepherd shuns,’ And so do I; When beeches drip in browns and duns, And thresh, and ply; And hill-hid tides throb throe on throe. And meadow-rivulets overyow, And drops on gate-bars hang in a row, And rooks in families homeward go.
