to stir the fears Of loyal Britons. The

THE FOREHANDED POET.

The poet took his Tyre
And with expectant stroke
He smote the trembling wire
To please the listening folk,
And with exultant voice
A song he sought to sing,
To make the world rejoice,
Anent the balmy spring.
But oh, he could
Not sing note,
Because the words
FrOze in his throat!
The poet seized his harp
To tune joyous lay,
But winds austere and sharp
Drove every sound away.
But still he sang his song
In simple faith and trust,
Till winter came along
And blew one mighty gust.
All, then he put
His harp away
And waited for
a warmer day!
