beneath a hill whose rocky side oer bowered it a grassy mead and fenced a cottage from the wind A deer was wont to feed she only came when on the mend mead the evening moonlight lay and no ma man knew the secret haunt in which she walked by day white were her feet her forehead showed a spot of silvery white that seemed to gli el lramer nimer like a star in autumns hasty night and as here sang the whippoorwill she cropped the sprouting leaves and here her ru string steps were heard of still october eves once in autumns autu mris golden time she rang the wild invade and found the pheasant nor mor the deer I 1 land and wandered homo home again I 1 next evening shown the waxen moon beside the silvery tooted footed deer there grazed a spotted fawn the cottage dame forbade her son to alm aim tho the rifle here it were a sin she said to harm or fright that friendly deer this spot has been my pleasant home ten peaceful years and more and ever when the moonlight shines she feeds before our door I 1 love to watch her as she feeds and think that all Is well while such a gentle creature haunts the place in which we dwell next evening shone the waxen moon as sweetly as before the deer upon the grassy mead wa was 3 feeding full in sight lie ila raised the to his eye and fro from M the cliffs around A sudden echo shrill and sharp gave back its deadly sound away into the neighboring wood the startled creature new flew and crimson drops of moisture lay JAY amid the glimmering dew next evening shone the waxen moon as an sweetly as before the deer upon the grassy mead was seen again no more the red men say that here she walked a thousand years ago they never raised the war whoop here and never swayed the bow at night the red men came and burnt the cottage to the ground and slow slew
