On faces whose dear lines I knew
Whose many-colored thoughts I guessed, I find I know not the old ways;
Dear eyes are
shadowed

Or speaking, they are quick and gay, With kindly will to warn or bless.

In bundling gallop for the cottage door,
With hungry hubbub begging crusts and orts,
Then like the

bumping round once more;
Nuzzling the dog, making the pullets run,
And sulky as a child when her play's done.
