A SONG.
BY MRS. RADFORD.

BY MRS. RADFORD
The birds sang from the tree,
"SWecthc1rt
Go forth across the silent hills
For, in the vale their shadow fills,
Thy love awaiteth thee
With lonely heart"
She wound n wreath Of flowers
So sweet
And. while the birds still sang their song,
Across the hills, she parsed along
In the fair sunrise hours
Her love to meet.
But when the sum- asleep
At eve
Lay hid behind a purple cloud.
Each little bird in leafy shroud
Saw her return and weep.
And dost thou grieve"
"Ah, no. am not sad
She said,
He did not know me when | came.
But have crowned him all the same,
And how can be sad?
Ny heart Is glad"
