POETRY Y
UNDER THE vI0E"Ts.

Her hands are cold. her face Is shite
No more her pulses come and 60;
Her eyes are shut 70 life and light:
Fold the white vestures, snow on snow,
And Law her where the vioiets blow.
But not beneath a craven stone,
To plead for tears with alien eyes
A slender cross Of wood alone
Shall say, tnat here a maiden lies
In peace beneath the peaceful skies
And gray old trees Of hugcst limb
Shall wheel their circling shadows rouna.
To mako the scorching sunlight dim,
That drinks the greenness from the ground
And drop their dead leaves on her mound.
When DER their boughs the squirrels run,
And through the leaves the robins call,
And, ripening in the autumn sun,
The acorns and the chestnuts fall,
Doubt not that she viii heed them all
For her the morning choir shall sing
It's mathis from the branches high,
And every minstrel voice of spring,
That thrills beneath the April sky,
Shall greet her with its earliest cry.
When, turning round their dial track,
Eastward the heightened shadows pass
Her little m0urners clad In black,
The crickets sliding through the grass,
Shall pipe for her an evening mass.
At last the rootlets Of the trees
Shall find the prison where she lies,
And bear the buried dust they seize
In leaves aud blossoms 10 the skies.
50 nay tie soul that warmed 81 rise
II any horn of kiudIier blood
Should ask what maiden lies below
Say only this, tendcr bud,
That tried to blossom In the snow,
Lies witberd where the violetS blow,
