[wRITrEN FOR THE "kvENISG WHICH,

Come tiDkling down on the window pane,
Aud he yellow leaf and the thirsty flower
That have watched the sky with yearning vain
Now nod a. d darcs meath the v ching poser
o. the yJus drops-of the drops OF rain,
The whispering pattering drops Of rain.
Alas for ZONE it has come too late,
For faded they fell in the parchipg d 'srtb;
Yet thither Il e sprrive raiH drops meet
In their weird isnialtic dance OF mirtt;
Foe ever hear the pat,ering feet
OF the Z I'm drops as they daIc> 10 earth,
On the fallen leaves as they dance to earth,
Across The lhlde of the forest leaves
The slanting lireS come brightly down,
And the giant oak branch waves and beaves,
Tho' nt'er breath OF breeze has bloWr;
And the gathering drop: from The dripping caves
Fail FLASHING down on the cool gray stone,
Fall plashi0g aud scattering down on thSstone
cannot tell why thus Sigh
While joyous nature laughs again,
As / look alolt at the misty sky
And sadly follow the dsops to the plain,
But with head rsclined Rad half closed eye,
list TO the sound Of the falling raj /,
To the delicate feet of the drops Of rain.
