Out West.

Joe Hilton sat in his easy chair.
Nothing he seemed to see,
Though little woman's tiny hand
Lay resting on his knee.
Straight in the fire his gaze was bent,
Unscorched by its sullen glow,
Till a woman's question b 0ke his dream
With "What are you thinking, Joe?
Back from the border land he came,
Back from the prairie swe l.;
lack from the rustling fields of corn,
Back to his black-robcd Nell,
Thinking, my tiny, quiet wife
Where shall build my nest;
For when the maple hushes red,
We are going, dear, Out West. ,"
"Going where nen can win home,
Where the corn is lid to grow
Where the reapef's cradle turns to gold,
And where winds untaintctl blow;
Going where CLEANS Of silver shine
On the rugg mountain crest,
And Il farm awaits II masters hand
Are you glad we arc going west"
over the sombre dress she wore
Hot tears went rolling down,
Though She tried u Wipe them off unseen,
Fearing Joe's troubled frown.
"Speak, Nelly, why do see those tears ?"
Softly she bent her head
"Mother-the sea-and baby's grave"
Were the only words she said.
Five years had passed, as years will go,
Dying as soon as born,
And Farmer Joe was passing rich
In acres, fiocks and corn.
And Nell poor Nell Joe told friend
In confidence, she was no. well;
The friend had heard it long ago,
Had caught the echo OF n kncli.
All knew save Joe, the prairie rose
Would bloom above her hcad
He though. the spring would tint her cheek.
With its remembered red;
II could not think, chow could man?)
That hearI-achcs ever kill
Nor know how fever craved drau ht
From the spring beyond the hill.

When over the trecl, SIS p.aia
The sun shot level shafts of light
Athwart the day just slain,
Poor Nell awoke from troubled sleep,
And ta'hel in Il wandering way
OF the little brook OF the biby's grave,
And the flowers that bloomed in May;
Or the dim old woods, so calm and cool,
Of the sea wlii:h she loved s. WE'LL
While Joe stood holding fast her hand,
With Il sorrow no words could tell.
Oh, tiny Nell, oh darling one,
Come back, little one, to me

Too late! She had found the sea.
