The Farmers Wife Writes

She speaks sweet like talking candy

Her poetic words just sail

And somewhere in the metered fancy

Thrives a love that never fails.



Her dreams are soul discovered

Through the pen of her breast

Where the fire for writing rouses

Her thoughts of love at best.



Then in the terms of rhymers

When she spreads her heartfelt wares

An apprearance grows on the gilded page

Beyond her regular cares.



There in the gloried night skies

Where she dreams the dreams of wish

The drift of the falling starlight

Captures her words like a kiss.



And she cannot change the yearning

Of the passions in her soul

The words that bind and gather

All mesmerize and grow.



You say! Just a farmer's wife

To work and know no less

Her heritage that of labour years

With nothing else be blessed.



Awake those ears her freedom sings

With great notes amoung her words

Through the scales you'll hear only

Genius flowing from her birth.
