OH for brisk and fresh'ning wind
That follows the tall ship fast,
That eurls the crests of the sun-kissd seas
And strains the pitch-pine mast
And bends the towering mast,
Whilst the dog.wateh yarns go round
And the chantey man upliits his voice
In the song Of the homeward- bonndi
The chorus asccnds in time and tune,
And is caught on the rising wind,
Till the startled gulls with tuttering wing
Fall off in the track behind
Fall OF in the faxes behind,
Where their shrieks and screams are drowned
BY the proud, loud song. the loud proud song
The song OF the homewardbound.
Give me the midst OF stormy gore
Where the staggering swings low,
And the clouds roll black on the weather-board
Predicting heavy blow
Sure sign of heavy blow
When from windwaI comes the sound
OF the tbunder's to rouse the song,
The song Of the homeward-boundI
Give me the man with rich. round voice.
When the wind IS believing hard,
As he looms his reach DER the leading block
Adjusting topsail yard
Mastheading a topsail yard
As the sail sets taut and round,
And the word, Relay falls like Amen
To the song of the homeward-bound
oh, the strange folk the wild sea-folk,
That live on the trackless deep
That carry commerce the world around
Wherever the wild waves sweep
Where the wild waves ever sweep,
To these let the toast resound
With health TO the sailor. a health to the ship,
An health 10 the homeward- bolindl

Small gamin Of the London street,
Brown sparrow, gay and plump and pert,
That dance about the horses feet
With beady eye and head alert.
That nest meath villa caves. where trees
Shaded your fathers downy beds,
And hop on asphalt, where the breeze
Shook the long grasses DER their heads.
You are our pensioner and guest,
beSGar, but no parasite.
Taking our morsels and the rest
As something OF civic right;
And on your small affairs intent
You screcch and wrangle, WOO and fight,
And hold vociieTuus parliament,
With your shrill brethren in our sight.
Protesting for our ways and lures
sage indifference, vet discreet
To keep that fluffy breast OF yours
The proper distance from our feet.
Whereas your country cousins love
The morning Woodlands dewy sheen,
The untarnished sweep of blue above,
Below the untrod fiowcry green,
You see the dawn DER housctops break,
And sniff with relish London smoke,
And dine and sing and sleep and wake
To Gathering streets and hummins folk.
Holding that Londons scattered gems,
Her ancient trees in ancient courts,
Her quiet hooks along the Thames,
Give room enough for rural sports.

And we who hold our city dear
May celebrate in metres due
Your gallant strut and chirp OF cheer

Hundreds OF souls within her frame lie dream.

For, looming from the blackness drear before

And stained to amber softness by the breeze
OF Attic shores. his Urn, antiquely fair
And brimmed it at the sacred fountain where
The drauglIts he drew were sweet as Castaly's-
Had he foreseen what souls would there APP

About 1t long professions move and wind,
Held by its grace-a chalice choicely fit
For Truths and Beauty's perfect interfuse,

A Mood.

Hast thou not learned the lesson yet?
IT'S this:
When years have woven webs for history.
And thou hast learned at last the wondrous bliss
OF all the future-hidden mystery,
Thou wilt have left no vacant useless space.
The work that finished will be done
BY made ready TO obtain the place
When thy full years OF love and joy are gone.
There is no leaf among the forest trees,
No wave whose heart-beats cease upon the
shore.
No vagary OF any summer breeze.
No blade OF dead grass the earth's brown
floor.
No passing cloud. no snatch of robins song.
Ave, not OF Natures world the smallest part,
But is remembered but is missed long
As thou Hast thou not learned how small
thou art?

And hide in cooling trees. voice will run

That is the graSshoppers- he takes the lead
In summer luxury--he has never done
With his delights, for, when tired out with fun.
He rests at ease beneath some pleasant weed.
The poetry of earth is ceasing

Friend though thy soul should burn thee, yet be
still;
Thoughts were not meant for strife. nor tongues
for swords
He that sees clear is gentlest of his words,
And that's not truth that hath the heart to kill.
The whole worlds thought shall not one truth
fulfill.
Dull in our age, and passionate in youth.
No mind OF man hath found the perfect truth.
Nor shalt thou find it, therefore, friend, be still.
Watch and be still, nor hearken to the fool,
The babbler Of consistency and rule;
Wsest is he who, never quite secure,
Changes his thoughts for better day by day;
Tomorrow light win shine. he sure,
And thou shalt see thy thought another way.
Archibald Lampman.
