She digs in her garden

With a shovel and a spoon,

She weeds her lazy lettuce

By the light of the moon.

She walks up the walk

Like a woman in a dream,

She forgets she borrowed butter

And pays you back cream!

Her lawn looks like a meadow,

And if she mows the place

She leaves the clover standing

And the Queen Anne’s lace!

MIDNIGHT OIL

Cut if you will, with Sleep’s dull knife,

Each day to half its length, my friend,—

The years that Time takes off my life,

He’ll take from off the other end!
