And she in mine. that what has been must be,
And so let others say she told shem lies:
She told no lie to me.
She spoke me fair, Of lees well as wine.
Then. with that subtlcst charm Of all her
charms
Half-dropped her languid lids, and at the sign

Now, it is she who iings my window wide
At dawn, and lets the perfumed morning in,
And she who walks so softly at nv side
Through mondays dust and din.
But, most Of all, tits she. when blue night falls
Whose firm imperious fingers tap the pane
And she whose velvet voice it is that calls;
Nor calls her own in vainl

The Need of the Hour.

Great is heritage of hope. and great
The obligation Of civic fate.
Fling forth the triple-colored flag to, dare
The bright, untraveled highways Of the air!
Blow the undaunted bueles, blow. and yet
Let not the boast betray to forget,
For there are high adventures for this hour
Journeys to test the sinews Of our power.
For must parry the years increase,
The hazards of success, the risks Of peace.
What need we. then. to guard and keep us whole7
What do need to prop the state? We need
The fine audacities of honest deed;
The homey old integrities of soul;
The swift temcrities that take the part
OF outcast Right-the wisdom of the heart;
Brave hopes that Mammon never can detain.
Nor sully with his gainless clutch for gain.
We need the Cromwell fire to make us feel
The public honor the public trust
To be thing as sacred and august
As white altar where the angels kneel,
We need the faith to 90 path untrod;
The power to be alone and vote with God

The wingless Angel.

Nature. aweary of the trees,
The brooks, the bird-songs, and the breeze.
Begins to see what she can do
BY way of maids eyes, brown or blue,
And always models with the eyes
gentle lodge for housing sghs.
Next spins she tresses turns throat
Where Love can tuck his sweetest note,
And by Il snow-curve pattern traced,
Works, now, the wonder OF waist.
She shapes. too, certain other things,
And 10. an angel. with the wings
Left of, so it may never fly,
But keep the earth kind of sky.
Poor man has piled her night and day

She wills, and works world OF harm,
With Just a dear unsleeved arm.
And things too deep to understand
With tingles from a dimpled hand.

Upon such stony soil.

Have ne'er been near to it?
Nay, ruffe not, my sauey maid;
But since We have this art,
Couldst use it in thy gardening
An | gave thee my heart?
Nay. nay. young sir. 'tis battered sore,

And, too methinks from over-use
The soil hath been worn out.
But take it. take it, naughty maidl

Each boasted full control
OF purpose and mind and soul;
Each thought by his separate will
He walked danced. fell, stood still;
They never suspected the strings
That dangled them here and there
Through rapture, grief or despair,
That held them in pairs and sets
The poor little marionettesi
When they met each night on the stage
In the pasteboard theatres space.
When they danced there face to face,
Each thought it wish OF his own
That brought them together, alone;
Each thought it her pride. his rage,
The strength of each tinsel heart
That forced them to scorn. to part
In the light of the Candle-lets-
The poor little mariOnettes!
Each gave himself praise blame,
The poor little, pititnl things
That never suspected the strings,
That never guessed that they hung,
Pirouetted or parted swung
By the hand that planned the game;
Each fattered himself that he
Made his own sole destiny,
His hliSses, fears, and regrets
The poor little nidrionettes!
All. well! Is it worth a sigh
From us who are sure of this:
That we won ior ourselves loves kiss,
That we made our time and hour,
Grew JOY from bud to dower2
We can laugh at them, you and /,
At the poor little. piCifu things
That never suspected the strings
Mere shadows and silhouettes!
