My Country Sweetheart



In a cozy nook she sits
      While she knits.
Glints of sunshine on her hair,
      Sitting there.

Close to her I move my chair;
      She is fair.
Greets me she with welcome kiss –
      Knotting bliss!

O I love to meet her here,
      Every year.
Rare, too rare, such sweethearts are –
      Grandmam ma!
