/ A CHARADE.
IT'S black and brown lis blue and gray,
IT'S changeful April day;
Aud yet no matter what they say,
It's not without attraction.
IL has language all It's own,
II tells the sufferers restless moan.
1t tells Of satisfaction.
Iuclosed within narrow cell
It moves on hinge invisible
Securely kept and guarded WELL
From all approaching danger.
i often speaks yet never talks,
II freely ruus,but never walks
And every passing thing remarks,
In fact n quite a ranger.
It sviuls. and yet arms has II none,
And dances out Of very fun,
/ Without lex 10 stand upon,
/ Or foot 10 follow after.
It has a brother twin they say,
Aad VIXEN cross purposes they play,
They look the very oldest way,
To some there's cause for laughter.
As shining crsytal Il is bright,
IT'S dark or duh as Winter night,
It's very nature, too, is light,
For all were dark without il.
II forms the poets constant theme
u haunts the lover IN his dream
And really paramount 'twould seem,
SO much Is said about it,
-" Hoosier Bill"
