After the burning hours of dangerous

After the sun draws seward, brazen,

How welcome is thy coming. Night, sweet

Low in the blue, blue east vibrates the

Mellow and large; across the shimmerina

The wind swells in and shakes the wheat

With early moonbeams; the faint ripples

Lightly above the silver-headed grass
Whence all the bees have taken drowsy

Thou soothest passionate pain from many

And grantest hours Of unremembering rest

In summer, when the days were long,
With humble, dropping head.

In summer, when the moonlight lay
About them like dream,
Together at the close of day
They ate their first ice cream.
In summer, when the sunshine made
A pathway to the sky,
Upon his breast she laid her head
And did not shrink from pie.

years old and a student at the Poly

Meissner's lectures on chemistry. He

rubbing together peroxide Of lead and
sulphur. Il struck him at once that the
reaction may be greatly intensified
when substituting phosphorus for sui
