by Charlotte Alington Pye (1830 - 1869), as Claribel
Walter's wooing
Language: English
I'm tired of gleaning the live-long day Though the neighbors declare that my work was play;' For if Walter had scorned to be helping me, I never had gathered the heap you see; For I strayed after poppies and corn-flowers bleu And large moon daisies, all bright with dew, -- While Walter was working as hard as could be; Yet he's but poor lad and no mate for me Yet whenever I go, and do all that I willl, The words of his wooing will haunt me still.
