Subject(s): Country Life; Music & Musicians


WE SIT in the rural gloaming,
While the moon shines silvery pale—
And the stars are twinkling brightly,
As we hear the nightingale:
"Me-ow! Me-ow! Phzzt! Me-ow!"

The lovely music passes,
And there comes a wondrous hush—
Then, through the evening shadows,
We hear the vibrant thrush:
"Oink, oink, oink, oink!"

The mystic spell of midnight
Comes over hill and dell,
When the robin starts his singing,
In the notes we love so well:
"Bow wow! Urf, urf, urf! Bow wow!"

Oh, glorious is the country,
How we love its gleaming gloam,
With its music, all so different
From the sounds we hear at home!
