WHY CONTEST THOU MOTT
BY MYRRHA EGERToN

Why comest thou not The flowers springing
In the mossy dells where the Fairies sleep
The low soft zephyr sweet music is bringing,
The bright birds are roaming the 'upper deep
It is joyous morn, all nature is blushing
Meath the ardent gaze of a warm spring sun
The sombre clad earth, with beauty is flushing,
As she feels his warm kiss my sad heart alone
Pineth for joy my lone offering, tear,
Falls mid spring roses, for thou art not here
Why comest thou not? The light dew is falling
On the wayy grass meath the old elm trees;
Up mid the scant leaves, the sad bird is calling
Her absent loved one-the musical breeze,
Like Lutte of the silyer-lned clouds is breathing
That floats round the throne of their shadowy king
OF southern sky. where beauty is wreathing
Summers rich brow, with the roses of spring
'Tis the hour of eve, the bright sun is sleeping
On his gorgeous couch of snowhakes and gold
Up mid the light clouds the pale stars peeping
And softly the ght the forests enfold.
All nature is bloomng-Hope's leaflets are sere,
Life is still .ifeless-for thou art not here.
Why comest thou not? The midnight is bringing
The storm clouds of life, to o'ershadow my home
The sunlight of JOY from my fond heart is winging
Its sad mournful exit, for thou hast not come;
Thou hast not come. o. why this delaying?
Am not wholly and fondly thine own?
Do L not weep for thee-am not praying
For thee my cherished one yet thou hast not come
Thou hast not come; alas for my calling
1t brings not thy light step, or loves low tone;
by sun is all rayless, life's shadows falling
Around my low pathway-fort thou hast not come
