through long spaces where vague faces
came and went in silence gray
And pale shadows stole beside us
Till we halted on our way,
BY well-tilled little garden
fllied with flowers the German loves
brlmming round a sturdy cottage
AND its cote of cooling doves.
Spinning by the open doorway
Was little fair-haired maid
Stepping forward, stepping backward,
Whirling wheel like matron staid.
Ach! mein kindchen! sighed the mother.
Thus l kept her day by day
Working busily It'll evening;
Even then 1 frowned on play. ..''.~-
All my thought was of the press room
And it's gOodly store of linen,
Or of thralers saved for Friedrich
In the War-now just beginning.
Never went we forth together
Seeking for the birdlings' nest,
Wildwood blossoms, limpid waters.
Dawns faint tints or gorgeous west.
Never hand in hand we studied
Natures wonders free as air,
Never heart to heart, we whispered
OF Gods brooding love anG care!TG1 =
Beads she told and prayers she MUIR
INJURED
In the way that priests impress;
But Gods love she never fathomed
Through mothers tenderness.
