Four.Leaved Clover.

Once, when simplest flowers of earth
Seemed TO be OF heavenly birth;
when each month WIS like the May
And all life holiday,
Through the fields We used TO 60.
Wandering gayly to and fro,
Seeking here and searching there
Searching tireless everywhere.
Hill and vale and meadow over,
just to and four -leaved clover.
What triumphant shouts would riss
When we saw the fairy prize'
Saw the precious, dainty thing
Which, as wo believed. could bring
wondrous luck and boundleas Joy
To the favored girl or boy
Who. in ecstacy of pleasure,
First espied the magic treasure!
Now, with steps more sad and slow,
Through the autumns fields We 90.
And our hearts less quickly beat
To that music strange and swee.
Which the dreaming poets hear
Echoing ever, far or near.
Yet cen now, il happy chance
Lures our meditAtive glance
To some green and dainty cover
Who're upsprings iour-lcaved clover,
Straight a thrill of glad surprise
Warns the heart and lights the eyes.
And we, hall in earnest, say:
"This will be lucky day"
All! tho simple Joys and true
That our dreaming childhood knew!
Let rs cling. through good and i'll.
To their precious memories still
Like soft winds, from distant bowers,
Waiting scent oie#sFeetest flowers,
Float they round the darker ways
All must tread in later days.
Time, that steals full many a eharm
Prom our lives, can do small harn
II he leaves undimmed aud bright
Childhood's faith and pure delight
In the lowly things that lie
EverJ where beneath the sky.
