The Ploughman

Echoed through the summer air,

A Living Picture

© Dinah Maria Mulock Craik

No, I'll not say your name. I have said it now,
As you mine, first in childish treble, then

I was smoking a cigarette;

Maud, my wife, and the tenor, McKey,

Let every day be Mother's Day!

Make roses grow along her way

The Lone Red Rock

A song of the range, an old-time song,
