BETWEEN the trees a hammock swings
On the lawn, at twilight's glow;
Oh, what bliss sweet memory brings
Of the days of long ago!
A dainty gown of spotless white,
Moulded to a faultless form,
Fashioned like a fairy sprite,
Riding on love's tidal storm.
In the gloaming, dim discerning,
We can faintly see the book;
Softly stealing, with love's yearning, --
Gracious heaven! it's the cook!
