The trees to azure CLEANS give BIRTH
And cen my very thoughts are blue.
When Gladys dons her gown of green
The whole world wears a verdant sheen
And h.ll and dale, and sky and sea,
All abs.nthe-t.nted seem to me
And my poor eyes are filled with green.
When Gladys fiaunts her gown OF whitS
All other things are lost In night;
So very pale and fair Is she,

And so VI ID. whate'er she wear.
