POETRY.
THE OLD WAShERWoMAN.
"DIE ALTE wAsCH FRAU"

See busy with her linen there,
Yes, buster far than all her peers,
In spite of age and snow-white hair,
In spite of six and seventy years.
An ancient woman who has gained
The daily bread which life demands,
Within the sphere that God ordained,
BY sweat Of brow and toll Of hands.
She in her youth has had her day,
Has loved, and hoped, and met her mate,
Has walked along her woman's way,
Grim Care still following, sure as fate;
Has borne her husband children three,
Has nursed him In his sickness sore,
Her faith and hope andimlness sa,-if de s-
Sank to his rest for evermore.
Children must bred and nourished be
She bravely buckled to her task;
Reared them to honest industry,
Best heritage the poor can ask
Then with her dear ones she must part;
To seek their fortunes forth they fare,
And still the old and lonely heart
Blesses and waits with courage there.
With careful savings fax she bought
And stipted sleep the fax to spin
Fine yarn her thrifty hands have wrought
And to the weaver carried in.
He wove web of linen fair,
She brought the needle and the shears,
And her own fingers sewed with care
The last straight garment woman wears.
Last labor Of life complete,
She shrines it in chosen place;
Strange treasure is a winding-sheet
To house as in a jewel case.
On Sundays 'tis her first array,
1t prints Gods Word within her breast,
Thus she forestalls her burial day,
When in its folds she lies at rest.
May /, when eventide draws on,
Like this poor woman see fulfilled
l. TIL allotted task, the battle won,
Within the lines my God hath willed!
When life's mixed cup is drained at last,
Like hers, my memories pious be,
That may look, when time has passed,
As kindly on my shroud as she.

LULLABY.
"Rockaby baby, thy cradle Is green;
Fathers a nobleman, mothers queen.
Rockaby, lullaby all the day long,
Down to the land of the lullaby song.
Baby land never again will be thine,
Land OF all mystery, holy, divine,
Motherland, Otherland,
Wonderland, Underland,
Land of time ne'eI again to be seen;
Floweriand, Bowerland,
Airyland, Fairyland
Rockaby Baby, thy cradle is green.
Rockaby Baby, thy mother will keep
Gentle watch over thine azure-eyed sleep.
Baby can't feel what the mother heart
knows,
Throbbing its fear DER your quiet repose.
Mother-heart knows how baby must fight
Wearily on through the fast.coming night;
Battle unending,
Honor defsnding,
Baby Must wage with the powers unseen
Sleep now, oh Baby dear,
God and thy neither near
Rockaby Raby, thy cradle Is green.
Rockaby Baby, the days will grow long;
Silent the voice of the mother-lov song
Bowed with sore burdens the man life must
own,
Sorrows that baby must bear all alone.
Wonderland never can come back again;
comes pain.
sorrowland, Morrowland,
Drearyland, Wearyland,
Baby and Heavenland lying between
Smile, then, in Motherland,
Dream In the Otherland,
Rockaby Baby, thy cradle is green.
