MARKET-DAY.— CALCOT.

William Lisle Bowles

Through the wood's maze our eyes delighted stray, To mark the rustics on the market-day. Beneath the branches winds the long white road; Here peeps the rustic cottager's abode;

There in the morning sun, the children play, Or the crone creeps along the dusty way.
