GRANVILLE OSBORNE.
In and out the leafy shadeOf the peaceful glen and glade,Where the brook goes rippling by,Through the cowslip meadow nigh;When the soft and odorous breezeWhispers gently 'mongst the trees,Lovingly, I hear them woo—"Coo-goo-roo-o-o, Coo-goo-roo-o-o."Bows and bridles proudly he,Coyly shy and modest she;Hither, yon, in ceaseless quest,'Till they build a cozy nest;Full of watchful care is he,When there comes maternity;Never lover's song so true—"Coo-goo-roo-o-o, Coo-goo-roo-o-o."Now so proud he tabers low,To his loving mate below;Never lover so in love,As this billing, cooing dove.Back and forth he quickly fliesWith his generous supplies,Then he nods, "There, that will do—Coo-goo-roo-o-o, Coo-goo-roo-o-o."Beautiful, the little broodBlesses faithful motherhood,And the lessons they impart,Doves and nestlings, reach my heart.What the wisdom from the dove?That the best of life is "love."So I listen while they coo—"Coo-goo-roo-o-o, Coo-goo-roo-o-o."
