An Interlude.

A tender silence fell between the songs,
And then the frail voice of violin
Made mellow music; such we dream belongs
To fair white spirits free from soil or sin.
A delicate delight filled all the air.
And still the mystic cadence rose and fell,
Making its plant of sorrow none could share,
Telling sweet stories words could never tell.
There was a hidden sadness in its mirth,
And underneath the sadness radiant joy;
Dim visions dawned of some new, glorious
earth,
Unstained and perfect gold without alloy.
The notes dropped lower, like the shy caress
OF one who little knows yet greatly dares
Love trembled DER the strings, faint with
that stress
OF strong desire. whose hopes are pleading
prayers.
So sank the music to its signing close;
The wond' rous voice left half heaven IN
told.
Only an interlude. Yet often white rose
Wears grace more royal than the sunfiow-
ers gold.
The Queen.

Yet love can last, yet love can last,
The future be as was the past,
And faith and fondness never know
The chill of dwindling afterglow,
If to familiar hearth there cling
The virgin freshness OF the spring,
And April's music still be heard
In wooing voice and winning word.

Like fruit that ripens tenderer grows:

Lie thick on lies declining slope.

Sing Again.

You sang me a song,
Twas the close of the year.
Sing again!
1 cannot remember the name
Or the words.
IT'S the same
We listen to hear
When the windows are open in spring
And the airs full of birds.
One calls from the branch some sweet thing
And one sings on the wing
The refrain.
You sang me a song,
My heart thrilled to hear
The refrain
Has run like flllet Of gold
Through the wool
OF the cold
Dark days of year.
Tonight there's year at its start,
All the birds are aloof.
Your eyes hold the sun for my part,
And the springs in your heart.
Sing again!
M. L. Van Worst, in Scribner's.
