Where heavens home throws her gauze of blue

Dropping down shadows. melting the hue.

He gave you, oh, valley, the breath of love:

Kiss the fruits In their golden bloom,
And wander away into clUud-and, revealing

Her children love to gather there
Though on each one whose steps she taHSha
She gazes with mothers pride.
Some times think her tenderest thOUghs

When Ethel was a willful child,
And Harry ran away to sea,
And Jack was Just little wild,
She bore it all so patiently;
Grown now to men and women grave.
They guard lest III her days betide.
But there is one who never gave
Her pain-the little one who died
And when we miss the placid face
Forever from the old armchair.
The silence OF that empty place
Will not be quite so hard to bear;
For though the voyage be lone, we feeE

To hear the grating of the keel,

SHADOW LAND.

Into shadow land 1 wandered.
Led by twiiight's hand;
Gently from the sunset golden,
Into that drear land.
Dusky shadows all about me
Whispered sad and low,
Saying should walk forever
In their vale of woe.
Telling on my life forever
Would their darkness stay,
AS across the breathing heavens
Then dark cloud lay.
HaIf deSparing wildly cried 1
To the somber night
"Take me from the gloomy shadows
ITO the blessed light"
Lo the clouds were fringed with moonlight;
JOY 0 soul OF minei
There can never be dark shadows
Save where light does shine.

Feel upon my cheek thy breath?
Or shalt thou go with me, darling,
Down the lonely way Of death?

Lovely girl or noble boy?
Shalt thou be my thorny chapIet,
Or my fiowery crown Of joy?
Shall weep thy early taxing?
For thy infant presence mourn?
Or shalt thou be left my darling,
Motherless at life's first dawn?

a greater public interest is manifest In the

however, that this interest Is not more log

How roguishly smiles she upon me.

But never doth show
What Pm longing TO know,

She's the prettieSt puzzle that ever
Bewtldered poor mystic knight,
A poem is she,
Full of sweet mystery
A dream of exquisite delight.
And shall be able to solve it,
And find the true key to her heart?
I've studied IL long
And my courage Is strong,
But she battles the skill of my art
Yet, will be patient and labor.
And lay other things on the shelf,
Perhaps she'll relent
When she knows my intent,
And give me the answer herself.
