NOT To BE.

NOT TO BE.
The rose said: "Let but this long rain be past,
And shall feel my sweetness in the sum-
And pour its fullness into life at last"
But when the rain was done,
But when dawn spsrkled through unclouded
n. air.
She was not there.
The lark said; "Let but winter be away,
And blossoms come, and light, and will
soar,
Aud lose the earth. and be the voice of day"
But when the SHOWS were DER,
But when spring bpoke in blueness overhead,
The lark was dead.
And myriad roses made the garden glow.
And sky -larks caroled all the summer long
What lack of birds TO sing and flowers to blowi
Yet, al, lost scent, lost songl
Poor empty ro~e. poor lark that never trilledl Z

says:
