POEM OF THE DAY
A COUNTRY SUMMER PASTORAL

As written by a learned scholar of the city from knowledge derived from
etymological deductions rather than from actual experience.

I would flee from the city's rule and law,
    From its fashion and form cut loose,
And go where the strawberry grows on its straw,
    And the gooseberry on its goose;
Where the catnip tree is climbed by the cat
    As she crouches for her prey--
The guileless and unsuspecting rat
    On the rattan bush at play.

I will watch at ease for the saffron cow
    And the cowlet in their glee,
As they leap in joy from bough to bough
    On the top of the cowslip tree;
Where the musical partridge drums on his drum,
    And the dog devours the dogwood plum
And the wood chuck chucks his wood,
    In the primitive solitude.

And then to the whitewashed dairy I'll turn,
    Where the dairymaid hastening hies,
Her ruddy and golden-haired butter to churn
    From the milk of her butterflies;
And I'll rise at morn with the early bird,
    To the fragrant farm-yard pass,
When the farmer turns his beautiful herd
    Of grasshoppers out to grass.

                                                            Unknown.
