The ANGEL Of the May, from lis right hand
sowcd flowers when clouds were riyen.
The blossoms frightened all the barren land
AS sweet thoughts dropped from heaven.
Young violets-all shlmmering as lake
Blue mountain walls inclose-
And yellow roses where the sunbcams shake
Their thirst while bees rcp0sc.
A vision Of the summer swept the hill,
And kissed the flowers asleep,
Awakening all their hearts beneath the thrill
of life more new and deep.
The roses leaned and listened in tho shade,
Upon the garden wall.
The wooing phyrs wandered half afrail,
Where lilies glistencd tall.
And every day, as earth more sweet and fair
Grew Gladder 10 their eyes,
They drank the blue wine OF the summer air
As crst in Paradise.
But autumn came, and down the hill again,
Wien night was dar'l and deep.
An angel wandered through the wind and rain
And kissed the flowers 10 sleep
The crimson roses and the li.ic, tall,
Were robbed Of life and light
We knew. when morning came, the souls OF all
The reaper took that night
