HEADACHE DAY.

Oh for the Orient archways,
The curtained tents of Shem,
Or even the Eskimo dugouts;
With tunnels down to them.
oh, for a home with Robin,
-Redbreast, or HOOd-On floors
OF forests dim where ne'er is heard
The crash of swinging doors!
Here on this burning pillow,
Where lacing wrinkles feel,
Beneath a throbbing, helpless head,
Like fretwork of hot steel.
Where on thin shaft of sunlight
Pierces the darkness dim,
And shows me how, if but move,
The sick walls reel and swim.

Let loose full broadside.

Knew what my dreaming meant
That boy was steaming through the

And firing as he went.
1t helps me not to murmur,
Or clench my hands in pain
Who would have little folks to go out
And not come in again?-
And yet how vain the war talk
OF ship and twelye-inch gun,
To him who lives where doors will
slam
And has an eight years son!
Oh, for the stored stiffness
OF white Alhambran halls,
A bamboo lodge in quaint Japan
With wattled screens for walls
Oh, for a quiet dwelling
On any earthly shores
Where men no more have headache days
Or houses have no doors!

IT'S THE LAST ROSE OF SUMMER

Ills the last rose of summer,
Left blooming all alone;
All her lovely companions
Are faded and gone;
No flower of her kindred,
No rosebud is nigh,

Or give sigh for sigh!
I'll not leave thee. thou lone one,

Since the lovely are sleeping,
Go sleep thou with them.
Thus kindly / scatter
Thy leaves Ger the bel
Where thy mates OF the garden
Lie scentless and dead.

When friendships decay,
And from Loves shining circle
The gems drop away!
When the true hearts lie withered,
And fond ones are flown,

This bleak world alone?
