bowered a grassy mead and fenced a cottage from the wind A deer was wont to feed she only came w when hen on the mead the evening moonlight lay and no man knew the secret haunt in which she walked by day white were her bar feet her forehead showed a spot of 0 silvery white that seemed to like ilka a star in autumns hasty night and as hero here sans sang the whippoorwill she cropped the sprouting leaves and here her rustling steps wore were heard or of still october eves once in autumns golden time she rang the wild invade and found the pheasant nor the deer and wandered home again next evening shown the waxen moon beside the silvery tooted footed deer there fraed a spotted fawn the cottage dame forbade her son to alm aim the rille rifle here it were a sin she said to harm or fright that friendly deer tills this spot has been my pleasant home homa 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 was feeding full in sight eight lie ila raised the rifle to his eye and from the cliffs around A sudden echo shrill and sharp gave back its deadly sound away into the neighboring wood the startled creature flow flew and crimson drops of moisture lay amid the glimmering dow dew next evening shone the waxen moon as sweetly as before the deer upon the th grassy mead was seen again no more the red men say that here she walked a thousand years ago they never raised the war nar whoop here and never swayed the bow at night the red men came and burnt the cottage to the ground and slew the auth and dame mall mail it to you 2
