A Song Of Sunlight. TFronn J.ongn,an,s Mscazina i

 Life and death, and the power of love, and the
 strength of laughter; Music of battle, and ships that sail away to the west; All that has gone before and all that folIoweth The mad. blind struggle for gold, and the
 restless seeking for rest; The brain reels round with them all, and weeri.
 ness is their name. Come to the long, low moorland and hear ere
 the winter win 1t, Where the broom, like a sunlit beacon, flashes in golden flame. The music of wind and water, of the bee and the mountain hnnet Blue is the sky overhead and purple the heather Far on the dim n horizon the white sails EIssm in the haze; One is the dream within and the song that is ours without us, The joy of the sun-steeped present, struck free from the whiri of the dAys- Harki how she sings In the fern pRSsionless song of content, The wren, now hanging 6 moment where the fox-glove's bells are shaken NOW by the waters edge the iris bowed as she went, Weaving her melody out Of the sweets by the way she has taken. Sing, little bird in the willows low by the edge of A song that ripples and lesps as the waters leap In spring; The wind breathes low in the grass where the threads Of the gossamer quiver, And all the sunlit moorland is silent to hear you sing. Sing that life Is glad, and fair are the land and The wonder of stars in the night, and the noon. tides golden glory. Ours is the joy of the present, we care not what is to be, And the past Is dim as 6 dream, or a hAIf-re
 membered story!
