- MAUD DRILLER. • . •
BY JOHN
Maud Muller on a sampler's day,l
Raked the meadow sweet with hay.
•
Beneath her torn hat glowed the wealth
Of simple' beauty and rustic health.
•
Singing, she wrought, and her merry glee
The.mock-bird echoed from every tree. ;
• Bat, when she glanced to the fen4off town,
White from the hill-slope looking down.
• The sweet song died, and a vague unrest ,
And a nameless longing filled her breast— c s . j .
A wish, that - she hardly dared Oil own,
For something better than ahe Mal known.
Tim Judge rode slowly down the lane,
Smoothlag his horse's chestnut mane.
He drew his bridle in the shade
Of the•apple-trees to greet the maid,
And ask &draught from the spring that flowed
Through the Meadow, across the road.
She stooped where the cool spring bubbled up,
And. filled for . him her small tin. cup,
.4nd bltislied as she gate it, looking doWn
On her feet so bare, and he; tattered 'gown.
, -
" Thanks ;" said the Judge, 'tit-Sweeter :draught
From a fair hand w9i never quaked." . •
Ile spoke of the grass, and.ilowMs, and trees, .
Girdle siiagin:g ;birds and the hutrimiug bees ;
He talked of the haying, and.wOnde.red whether
The cloud in the west would bring foul weather
And Maud forgot her brier-torn, gown, •
- And hergtacefal ankles bare and brawn;
And listened, while a pleased Satirise
Looked from her long•lashed hazel e,yes
At last, like one who for delayj
Seeks a vain excuse,•he rode aWay. •
a wl ay.
`Maud Muller looked and sighed: "-Ake I
That I the Judge's bride might be I
He would dress me up in sllk l e so tine,
And praise aud, toaat me at his iwinc.
" My father should wear a broadcloth coat ;
My brother nail a painted boat, ,
- "I'd dreso my mother ecrzusui, and gar.
And the baby sliould have a near toy each day.
!` Anll I'd feed the .hungry andfeed thepoor, -
And all should hicks ma wholCft our door."
. The Judge looked back as he Clintheil!the hill;
And Orr Maud Muller standink still.
"A form more fair; a face more sweet, ,
i4e'er bath it been my lot tlz meet. •
". And her Modest answer an gracefol air
Show.her wisesandgood as shb is fair.
" Would she were ;nine, and I to-day,
Like her, a harieiter.of bay.; .

" But low of cattle and song of birds;
'And health and quiet, and loving words." 1
•: - -
•
- But be thought of his sister, proud and - cold,
And hiernuper, vain of her rank and gold.
So closing the heart, the Judge rode on,
And Maud was left in the field alone,
. _
But the lawyers el:filled that afternoon,
When he hummed in court an old love bane ;
And tie young girl mused be6ide the well, -
Till th rain on the unmlied Clover fell.
:He wedded a wife of richest dower, *
Who liced for fashion, as lie foz power.
Yet oft, in his marble liearth' i s.brightglck4Lo

And sweet Maud Miller's hazel eyes
Lociked out in their innocer.ll surprise.
•
Oft/when the wine in his glass was red. '
lie longed for-theWity-side well instead ; ,
And closed his eyes on the,garnished Thome,
To dieam of meadows and doter/I:dooms.
And the proud roan sighed,With a secret pain
'• Ah, tiat I was free_againl
" Free as when' rode that day. • .
Where the barefoo maiden raked the hay."
