Song.

"Come. sing to me" said the King one day,
"A love song. soft and true,
For fam would turn from my cares away
Ard daily awhile with you.
The briars in bloom and the birds sing sweet
And the skies CLEAN blue above
So fetch your mandolin, Marguerite,
And sing song of love"
She touched the strings with a careless hand,
And sang him sweet song,
One heard the throbs OF the glad young heart,
The blood ii swept along.
And Oft in after years, the King,
AT chase or tourney or play,
Would idly hum with an absent mind
That song of a summers day.
But the mandolin hung on the cottage wall.
It's music forever still,
And the singer slept in nameleSS grave,
Forgotten for good or ILL.,
For women will love and men forget
Twas the reading of Fate away;
And happy the heart that knows of love-
If Just for summers day.

And what we mean, we say, and what we would,

What shouts of wordless, tuneful joy,
At sight of this poor broken toy!
tiny feet that would not rest!
o dear head pillowed on our breast,
What would we give to hold again
The form we lost, mid tears and pain!
All, child the empty cot is ours,
But thine the sunshine and the flowers!
What could we give thee, shouldst thou come
To smile again upon thy home!
Such little pleasures as we know
In Shis our twilight life below;
Some fragments of earth's paltry joys,
A handful of it's broken toys!
How calm thy lot, forever blest:
How exquisite thy happy rest
How changeless, joyful and serene,
COMPARED with what thy lot had been
With us, whose fleeing, clouded joys
Are at their best but broken toys

Rest.
To spend the long warm days,
Silent beside the silent-stealing streams,
To see, not gaze
dreams.
See clouds that slowly pass
Trailing their shadows Ger the far, faint down,
And ripening grass
While yet the meadows wear their starry crown.
To hear the breezes sigh
Cool in the silver leaves like falling rain,
Pause, and go by,
Tired wanderers DER the solitary plain.
See far from all alright,
Sky, river, creatures play hour after hour.
And night by night
Low in the west the white moons folding flower.
Thus lost to human things,
To blend at last with Nature, and to hear
What song she sings,
Low to herself when there is near.
Margaret L. Woods.
