The year stood at its equinox	A
And bluff the North was blowing	B
A bleat of lambs came from the flocks	A
Green hardy things were growing	B
I met a maid with shining locks	A
Where milky kine were lowing	B
	-
She wore a kerchief on her neck	C
Her bare arm showed its dimple	D
Her apron spread without a speck	C
Her air was frank and simple	D
	-
She milked into a wooden pail	E
And sang a country ditty	F
An innocent fond lovers' tale	E
That was not wise nor witty	F
Pathetically rustical	E
Too pointless for the city	F
	-
She kept in time without a beat	G
As true as church bell ringers	H
Unless she tapped time with her feet	G
Or squeezed it with her fingers	H
Her clear unstudied notes were sweet	G
As many a practised singer's	H
	-
I stood a minute out of sight	I
Stood silent for a minute	J
To eye the pail and creamy white	I
The frothing milk within it	K
	-
To eye the comely milking maid	L
Herself so fresh and creamy	F
'Good day to you ' at last I said	M
She turned her head to see me	F
'Good day ' she said with lifted head	M
Her eyes looked soft and dreamy	F
	-
And all the while she milked and milked	N
The grave cow heavy laden	O
I've seen grand ladies plumed and silked	N
But not a sweeter maiden	O
	-
But not a sweeter fresher maid	N
Than this in homely cotton	O
Whose pleasant face and silky braid	N
I have not yet forgotten	O
	-
Seven springs have passed since then as I	P
Count with a sober sorrow	Q
Seven springs have come and passed me by	P
And spring sets in to morrow	Q
	-
I've half a mind to shake myself	R
Free just for once from London	O
To set my work upon the shelf	R
And leave it done or undone	O
	-
To run down by the early train	S
Whirl down with shriek and whistle	E
And feel the bluff North blow again	T
And mark the sprouting thistle	E
Set up on waste patch of the lane	S
Its green and tender bristle	E
	-
And spy the scarce blown violet banks	U
Crisp primrose leaves and others	H
And watch the lambs leap at their pranks	U
And butt their patient mothers	H
	-
Alas one point in all my plan	V
My serious thoughts demur to	N
Seven years have passed for maid and man	V
Seven years have passed for her too	N
	-
Perhaps my rose is overblown	W
Not rosy or too rosy	F
Perhaps in farmhouse of her own	W
Some husband keeps her cosy	F
Where I should show a face unknown	W
Good bye my wayside posy	F
