A Hammock Story.
My Indy dreams with unshut eyes,
Under the apple boughs I see,
Where, on her breeze-blown couch she lies,
The fairest thong beneath the skies
Al! dare I hope she dreams of me 7
der hair is like the sunbeam’s gold,
Her face an angel's well might be;
Her form is cast in beauty'’s mold,
Her loveliness cannot be told,
E’en by a worshiper like me.
I cannot leave her musing there
And gomy way, when only she
My heart, and life, and love can share—
Ah! lady fair, dear lady fair,
Leome to thee! I come to thee!
She heard his footfall as he came,
Aud suddenly across Lier cheek
{here swept a vivid scarlet lame,
She trembled as he breathed her name,
But not an answer did she speak.
Her Jace-bound hat she lightly drew
Close 10 her brows, and he—0O | he,
Beut nearer to her eyes of blue,
And with a look that thrilled hier through,
He asked her king of dreams to be,
Chere was a tender thrill of bliss
From a brown nest above the two,
Alter the silence of a kiss,
As, with a look love would not miss
For Heaven, she said, *'I dreamed
