Annus Il@.
BY p. R. STRONG.

There's stain of blood in the wintry sky
There's scent OF blood in the freezing air;
The hollow blast goes moaning by,
Sick with its burden of despair war
For the leash has been slipped from the dogs oi
And their muzzles are red with human gore;
And, fast by the couch of the dying year,
Gather the phantOms of Woe and Fear.
WI is TO blame, that world so fair
Writhes in the throes of a monster birth
Who is TO blame, that crimson glare
Mocks at the gloom Of shuddering earth
Who Is TO blame All me wot.
Saxon or Gaul, it matters not
Never was lacking to Adams seed
A glib excuse for selfish deed
Year that hast trodden bloody D til.
Flaunting thy banner of empty pride!
ear that hast crushed in thy frenzied wrath
Legions OF victims who fought and died!
Dark is thy record TO eyes that mourn
Hateful thy name to the widowed breast,
Draining its milk for the nursing, born
Mid the horrors that hung ON thine awful
crestl
God still reigneth and we who wait,
w cary with vigil. but not dismayed
Beat at the bars of the crystal gate,
Hoping and trusting in Mercys aid;
Hoping to welcome the sway of Peace;
Trusting tho promise of days to come
When the angry blare of the trump shall cease
And the wall Of the perishing ranks be dumb
