NY PLAYMATE.

The pines were dark on Ramoth hill
Their song was soft and low;
The blossoms in the sweet May wind
Were falling like the snow.
Tho blossoms driftcd at our feet,
Tho orchard birds sang clear;
The sweetest and the saddest day
1t seemed Of all the year.
For more to me than birds or flowers,
My playmate left her home,
And took with her the laughing spring,
The music and the bloom.
She kissed the lips Of kith and kin,
She laid her hands in mine;
what more could aak the bashful boy
Who fed her fathers kline?
She left ua in the bloom Of May;
The constant years told DER
Their seasons with as sweet May norm,
But ehe came back no more.

Her summer roses blow;

There happy with her jewel hands
she smooths her silkcn gown
No more the homespun lap wherein
shook the walnuts down.
The Wild grapes wait us by the brook,
The brown nuts on the hill,
And still the May-day flowers make sweet
The woods Of FollymiIl.

The bird builds in the tree,
The dark pines sing on Ramoth hill
The slow song Of the sea.

Docs she remember mine?
And What to her is now the boy
Who fed her fathers kline?
What cares she that the orioles build

That other hands with nuts are filed,
And other laps with flowers?
o, playmate in the oldcn time!
Our NOISY scat is green,

The old trees DER It lean.
The winda so sweet with birch and fern

The song OF long ago.

The moaning Of the sea Of change
