Abroad in the gusty night; .t.

Like the voice OF child that grieycs,

The winds are singing song
OF the Spring that is softly stealing
From summer lands along.
The snow-drops smile as they hear it,
smile for the Springs sweet sake;
And the shy little voe,s whisper,

No matter, Kitty, my darling,
Though the March winds drcarily blow,

Down under the sheltering snow.
In spite of the clustering weather,
The crocus is budding again:
And the daiTodils whisper together,
And wait for the April rain.
