THE HEART OF JUNE.
Down In the heart of June, my love-
Down in the heart of June;
me gold, gold sun, like brides room proud,
@Llits @ the lair sky's veil of Summer cloud,
Whiie the green, green earth laughs out aloud,
In the heart Of the red, red June.
This Is the best Of the world my love,
This is the best Of the year;
Behind Is the Spring time cold and sweet
forward the Summers feverish heat:
stay, then my darling, thy hurrying feet,
For the best Of our life Is here.
Sip the red wine Of the June INV love
sip the red wine of the June
IN May 1t was white the fading snow
AAugusts deep purple will darken its glow;
Ihen, with lingering lip and kisses slow,
sip ther red, red wine of june
The roses, June roses, are red, my love,
They hang from your lattice high
Faint was the May blossoms gentle breath
The orange flowers will be strong unto death:
But the rose is sweet, and its sweetness saith
"There are none 80 lovely as l."
Then live in the heart Of this June, my love.
Live In the heart Of this June.
SdHn Snee we were fre1dsIol cold, barren dearthi
But now We are lovers-are gods on earth,
In the heart OF this red, red June.

Gauzy wrappings and lace overdresses caus-
ed their owners to shiver as they thought of
them folded away unused, heavy silks and
even velvet dresses being worn in place of the
