Text Appearing Before Image: 82 TWO OF A KIND A LEGEND OF PIONEER DAYS IN INDIANA Farmer Green was a pioneer Of the early days at the west;He entered his land and tilled it by hand, And his larder with plenty was blest. He had horses and cattle and lofty barns, And meadows and pastures green,And his hearthstone was bright from the angeliclight Of a daughter of seventeen. Among her beaux were two bright lads— The sons of old neighbor Gray;They were twins of one size—of one age likewise, And both had a liking one way. Each sought the favor of beautiful Rose, Openly or by stealth—One her heart with her hand—not her acres ofland— While the other thought well of her wealth. 83 Text Appearing After Image: 84 These lads were alike in gesture and speech, In manner of walk and play;And the gossips all said Rose had promised towed Both twins of old neighbor Gray. One morning in early October, These lads, so the legend goes,By each other unseen, went to see farmer Green And ask for the hand of Rose. They leisurely rode on roundabout waysThey had seldomly traveled before, Whent surprised at their fate, they met at the gateOf the farmer, who stood at his door. They looked at each other in wonder, But neither uttered a word—Their horses neighed, and the farmer said, In a voice which the household heard: What would you here so early ? And why together, pray?He knew at a glance they had met by chance, For they never both called the same day. 85 Note About Images Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original work. |
