Peacock Pie

Summer Evening

The sandy cat by the Farmer’s chair
  Mews at his knee for dainty fare;
  Old Rover in his moss-greened house
  Mumbles a bone, and barks at a mouse
  In the dewy fields the cattle lie
  Chewing the cud ’neath a fading sky
  Dobbin at manger pulls his hay:
  Gone is another summer’s day.
