A Birthday Tribute.


TO MISS M. O. FOX, OF LA CROSSE, Wis.
Fair May, within whose dark brown eyes,
In liquid depths shadow lies
On this thy natal day;
Since to our sunny southern home.
Thy weary feet have CHANGED to roam
From loved ones far away;
And few are here who know thy worth
To hail the day that gave thee birth,
Or Joy on its return.
While well thou knowest, northward far,
True as the constant polar star,
That fond hearts for thee yearn,
It may not be my mission now
To chase the shadows from thy brow,
Or light to joy thy eyes;
But if tribute from friend,
One single CLEAN to them can lend,
Or if thy heart will prize
NV soul-felt wishes for thy veal,
Then listen while lowly kneel
And to kind Heaven pray;
Oh Father, bless the poor sick bird, n
Whose trilling notes no more are heard
In woodlands far away.
Who southwark flown, to us has come,
For, sunshine in our southern home,
ssss.-'s In search of health and life,
Give her newer song to sing, -
That she may make our woodlands ring
And her own spirit rife
with health and gladness never known,
Till to our southern haven flown =
-. s,,i And with her take them back,
When with the springtime she shall fly,
TO sing beneath a northern sky
4 And we her song shall lack. QgSs
