Beyond the oceans blue,
An English garden quaint and old.
She nevermore might knows.
And SO she dropped homesick tear
That summer long age.
The yellow sheets grew worn and thin,
And fell in many shred;
Some went to bind the soldiers wounoss
And to some to shroud the dead.
And Mistress Standish rests her soul
Where graves their shadows throw
And yiolets blossom, planted there
In summers long ago.
But still between the royal rose
And lady lily tall
Springs up the modest lavender
Beside the cottage wall.
The spider spreads her gossamer
Across 1t to and fro
The ghost of linen laid to bleach

Tho Riches OF Love-

Love abides without care,
Coveting and signing.

Soon beneath its wintry sky
Shows Of age are falling.
Bearer then than fame or gold,
Cometh love caressing,
GIorifies the humblest fold,
Life's divinest blessing.
Woe, that bides with each In turn,
Yields to loves appealing;
Poor the souls that dunhly yearns
Lacking loves revealing.

Close beside him bealil-,
Feeling love the better par Z,
Fame nor gold entreatln2. :,
