Dies the day, and from far away Under the evening star Dies the echo as dies the day, Droops with the dew in the new mown hay, Sinks and sleeps in the scent of May, Dreamily, faint and far. DIES THE DAY AND FROM FAR AWAY UNDER THE EVENING STAR DIES THE ECHO AS DIES THE DAY DROOPS WITH THE DEW IN THE NEW MOON HAY SINKS AND SLEEPS IN THE SCENT OF MAY DREAMILY FAINT AND FAR
 the diet rolls of St. Swithin's monastery at Winchester, which belong to the end of the fifteenth century, we come across the entry "tansey tarte." It has been said that the use of tansy cakes at this season was to strengthen the digestion after what an old writer calls "the idle conceit of eating fish and pulse for forty days in Lent," and it is certain that this was the virtue attributed to the plant by the old herbalists. "The herb fried with eggs which is called a 'tansy,'" says Culpepper, "helps to digest and carry away those bad humors that trouble the stomach." It seems more probable that the custom of eating tansy cakes at Easter time was associated with the teaching of that festival, the name "tansy" being a corruption of a Greek word meaning "immortality." THE PARTRIDGE CALL. Shrill and shy from the dusk they cry, Faintly from over the hill; Out of the gray where shadows lie, Out of the gold where sheaves are high, Covey to covey, call and reply, Plaintively, shy and shrill.
