" ENING STAR.
THE LITTLE SHOE.
By MARY MEAL


i found 10 here-a worn out shoe.
An widowed with time and wet with dew;
lis little thing ye would pass II by
with never thought, or word, or sigh,
ct II stirs In my spirit hidden well,
And In eloquent tones Of the past doth tell
IL tells Of little fairy child
That bound nv heart with q magic wild,
VI bright b.ue ewes and golden hair,
That ever shed Joy and sunlight there -
Of a prattling vol e so sweet and clear,
And the tiny feet that were ever near.
1t tells OF Lopes that " b her had birth,
Deep buried now in the silent earth;
OF heart that had met an answering tone,
That again Is left alone-alone,
OF days OF watching and anxious PRAYER
Ofs night Of sorrow and dark despair
IL tells Of a form that IS cold and still
OF a little mound upon wonder hill
That Is dearer far 10 a mothers heart
Than the classic ''sta ues Of Grecian art
Alb strangers may pass with a Careless air
Nor dream OF the hopes that are buried there
Oh, We who have never DER loved ones went,
Whose brightest hopes have meier been swept
Like the pure white cloud from the summer skv.
Like the wreath OF mist from the mo 'ntain high ,
Like the rainbow beaming a moment here.
Then we.tipg away to its native sphere
Like rose leaves, loosed by the zephyr's sigh
Like that zephyr waiting its perfume BY
Like the wave that kisses some graceful SPOT
Then passes avay-yet is 'er forgot;
IL Ike these your life hopes have never fed,
fecannJt know Of the tears | shed
Ye cannot know what little thing
From Memory's silent fount Can bring
The voice and form that were on"e so dear,
ct there are hearts, were they only here,
That could feel with me when, all wet with dew,
found 1t this morning-this little shoe.
