ROBIN IN THE RAIN.
(cilnton Scollard In the Tlmes-Demo-
crat)
Listen to the soaring strainl
II Is robin in the rain.
Sitting there aloft, aloof.
Underneath his leaky roof,
Pouring from his throbblng throat
Note upon ecstntic note;
Rapture in the swift refrain
Robin In the rain.
Hearken TO the song he sings,
Tiny chorister with wings!
AFTER all the grief and gloom.
Brighter blue the skies VIII bloom;
After all the cloudy woe.
Earth with gladder gold will glow.
Joy viii triumph over palm"
