With soft, still leaps the white hare goes,
Till every friend has heard his call
To a wildwood lovers festival:
Come. hunted ones, and hearts be light,
No hunter abroad on Valentines night"
With bark and berry the feast is made,
With dainty that ripes in cedar shade.
With wine of the woods, the mountain breeze
Blown through pungent balsam trees.
There's chirp of squirrel and shy wood-mouse,
The red deer snorts, there's drum of grouse,
And when the moose bull bellows shriH
Their chorus rolls from swamp TO hill.

The Gift of the Sen.

The dead child lay in the shroud a,
And the widow watched beside;
And her mother slept, and the Channel swept
The gale in the teeth of the tide.
But the widow laughed at all.
II have los; my man in the sea,
And the child is dead. BE STILL she said,
What can ye do TO me?'
And the widow watched the dead,
And the candle guttercd low,
And she tried TO sing the Passing Song
That bids the POOR soul 60.
And MARY take you now she sang,
That lay against my heart,
And Mary smooth your crib tonight
But she could not say depart"
Then came 4 cry from the sea,
But the sea rimc blinded the glass,
And Heard ye nothing, motherg' snc said;
''Tis the child that waits TO pass"
and the noddins mother sighed,
'''TIs lauiUlns eve in the whin,
For why should the christened soul cry out,
That never knew OF sIn!'
"oh, feet have held in my hand,
On, hands at my heart to eaten.
How should they know the road TO go,
And how snould they lift the iaIcnT'
They laid a sheet TO the door,
With the hJtie quilt atop,
That 1t might not huTt from the cold or the
dirt,
But the crying would not stop.
The widow lifted the latch,
And trained her eyes to see,
And opened the door the bitter shore
To let the soul go Tree.
There was neither glimmer ghost,
There was neither spirit nor spark,
And Heard We nothing, mother!.' she said,
'"Tis crying for me IN the dark.
And the nodding mother sighed,
'"Tis makes ye dull;
Have We vet to learn The cry of the tern
Or the wall OF the windbown sullT''
"Thc terms are blown inland,
The gray gull follows the plow,
Twas never i bird the voice / heard,
Oh, mother. l hear it now.'
"Lie still, dear lamb, lie still,
The child is passed from harm.
'Tis the ache OF your breast that broke your
rest.
And the feel of an empty ARM
She put her mother aside,
In Mary's name, let be;
For the peace OF my soul must CO." she said,
And she went TO the calling sea.
In the heel of the wind-bit pier,
Where the twisted weed was piled,
She came to the life she had missed by an hour,
For she came to little child.
She laid it into her breast,
And back to-her mother She came,
But it would not iced, and IT would not heed,
Though she gave II her own childs name.
And the dead child dripped on her breast,
And her own in the slroud lay stark,
And God forgive US, mother" she said,
I'VE let it die in the dark

Venetian Memories.

Once more | hear the Gundolicr
As through the winding alleys,
With speeding oar and warming clear,
He lightly veers and sallies;
Once more the pigeons preen and COO
In sunny square and tower,
While far Friuli, iIintly blue,
Sleeps out the sultry hour.
The bright lagoon reflects the moon
Where crimpling waves are breaking;
Night, with the voice and breath OF June,
In joyous swell is waking;
The darkenod diIls hall forget
To sermOniZe on pleasure,
Where Time is but canzonst.
And Life treads out the measure.
/ found her fair when wandering there,
But, summoned by these pages,
Tie Venice which with thee share
My deeper love engages;
IT'S not the spell of doee and bride
With which she now entrances,
But that with soul 10 soul allied
We trace her old romanccS.
