Song.
BY CELIA THAXTER.

Rolls the long breaker in splendor, and glanc
Leaping in light!
Laughing and singing the swift ripple dances.
Sparkling and bright;
Up through the heaven the curew is fying,
Soaring so high!
Sweetly his wild notes are ringing, and dying
Lost in the sky.
Glitter the sails to the South wind careening,
White-winged and brave
Bowing to breeze and to hollow, and leaning
Low o'er the wave.
Beautiful wind, with the touch of lover
Leading the hours,
Helping the winter worn world to recover
All its lost flowers.
Gladly hear thy warm whisper of rapture,
Sorrow is DER.
Earth all her music and bloom shall recapture
Happy once more!
