DAY-DREAM.


by KATE PUTNAM osdooD,
Here, in the heart of the hills, lie,
Nothing but me twixt earth and sky
An amethyst and an emerald stone
Hung and followed for me alone
Is II n dream, or can 1t be
That there IL life apart from me?-
A larger world than the circling bound
OF light and color that lap me round?
Drowsily, duly, through my brain,
Like some recurront, vague refrain,
A world Of fancy comes and goes.
Shadowy pleasures, shadowy woes.
Spectral tolls and troubles seem
Fashioned ont of this foolish dream
Round my charmed quiet creep
Phantom creatures that laugh and weep.
Nay, I know they are meaningless,
Visions Of utter idleness;
Nothing was, nor ever will be,
Save the hills and the heavens and me.
