No More singing.

Twenty years ago in Italy melody
was to be heard all over the country.
The laborer going home to bed through
the vines sung his s~tornello or his ris-
petto to the sleeping fields. The boy
who drove his yoked oxen or cows in
the big square cart bcSuIlcd the way
with song. Joyous or amorous. The
guitar and the mandolin were heard
at dusk at every farm house door, and
In the streets Of the town youths went
singing and playing till the moon was
high.
There was music all owe the lan&
along the hedgerows as in the city
lanes, under the poplars and mulber-
ries az beneath the walls of citadel
and baptistry. How many a time at
sunset have I listened to the beauti-
full conzons Of the peasantry when tie
sweetness Of the vine flower filled tho
atmosphere or the dropped acacia bios
som shed Its smell on garden paths.
Now rarely are these wood notes wild
ever heard to tighten and spiritualizs
