When the roads are heavy with mire and rut,
In November fogs, in December SHOWS,
When the North Wind howls, and the doors are
shut
There place and to spare for the pains prose;
But whenever scent from the whitethorn blows,
And the jasmne-stars at the lattice climb,
And Rosalnd- face at the easement shows,
Then hey for the ripple of laughing rhyme!
When the brain gets dry as an empty nut,
When the reason stands ON its squarest toes,
When the mind Qike beard) has "formal CUT"
There is place and to spare for the pains of prose;
But whenever the May.bood stirs and glows
And the young year draws to the 'wanton prime,'
Whenever Sir Romeo courting goes,
Then hey!-for the ripple OF laughing rhyme!
In theme where the thoughts didactic strut,
In changing quarrel of "Ayes'' and "Noes,'
In starched procession of SIP and "But,"-
There is place and to spare for the pains of prose;
But whenever a soft glance softer grows,
And the birds are glad in the pairing time,
And the secret is told "that no one knows,'
Then hey!-for the ripple OF laughing rhymei
