When Martens Follow Spring.

On the roof-tree sparrows chartered,
And the gathering martens cried;
Autumn's gold the glades bespattered,
As lovers arts piled
As pleaded, 20, belov'd onei on my bo-
som fold thy wing"
yea, she answered-looking upward
when the martens follow spring"
So l watched the snowflakes falling,
With a gladness naught could chill,
In the warmth of hope forestalling
joys which patience must fulfil.
For, within, whispered, lowly ITO this
breast hy love will cling
When the blossoming hawthorn reddens,
and the martens follow spring"
Soon the violet doffed her cover,
And the snowdrop rang her bell;
Catkins tressed the hazels over,
And the gorse famed on the fell.
Then knelt, and whispering, pleaded
"Lo, belov'd, the thrushes singP'
Faint she answered, For never will the
martens follow spring.
Close looked, and on her forehead
Marked the pencillpgs of pain;
Saw her limpid eyes full stored,
Like fringed pools o'erfed with rain,
And 1 cried aloud, sore stricken, "Oh
belov'd one! stay thy wingl
For life cometh, cometh surely, when
martens follow spring.
They are chattering. chattering gaily
AS their nests they mend with care
And l watch them, watch them daily,
With dumbly blank despair.
For they home returned from roaming,
but my love On tired wing,
Had just mounted up forever, when the
martens followed spring.

@ONLY SOMETIMES"

IT'S only sometimes that we linger
At the close of busy day
To think of the beauty and promise
OF the years that are far away,
When the great werld stretched before
US
Asa field so fair and wide,
Where love might be had for seeking,
With never prs yer denied,
And success was the one thing certain
To all who stroye their best
Life's noon should be full of pleasure,
And its evening peace and rest.
And only sometimes we ponder
On memories sadder still,
of hearts once warmly glowing
That in death lie calm and chill,
of love we deemed immortal
And above all meaner things,
Till a silence fell OF its music
And the earth-stain soiled its wings.
But it's only sometimes that we hear it
The voice of our buried past
As the wall of a sorrowful spirit
Over Joys too frail to last.
But these are the nem'ries only,
And the harvest day by day
Calls US to plan and TO labor
And forces our dreams away,
And the golden noon is fairer
Than the misty merning hours;
We have truth instead of shadow,
And fruit in place of flowers;
And when, through the twilight still
ness,
We hear those lingering chimes
Let us think-"It is well to remember
The past and its sorrow sometimes.
