4. ZETLAND WINTER,

Now frowns the sun god on the northland dark,
And turns away the brightness Of his fnce
From hill and shore and sea IL drcary space,
And stills the gladstone singing OF the lark.
Now lies the northlanl all snow sheetcd, stark,
And steel cold skies are ever stepped in night,
Save where the moon elves dance in silver light,
And cleaning stars the rapt eyes limit mark.
Hence comes it that the fiery northland heart
Is touched with SORROW, and tho tale Of tioun
And sings tho winters deep encircng gloom,
In living words whenco soul t,res glowing, dart,
That mighty thoughts like wild auroras sweep,
And fling their splcndors DER the northern deep.

No wind can drive my bark astray,
