I'VE SAT IN SILENCE. "
BY WILLIAM sTRUTHERs.

We sat il silence
Though the stars awoke
\ mystic melody in far-on heights,
And even to the lowIy heritage spoke
And told the frsfies to put forth their
lights.
We sat in silence;
Though the moonbeams stole
In quivering cadences athwart the
trees.
And formed a choral dance about a
knoll.
Where, ambushcd. lay drowsy sum

We sat in silence;
Though within each breast
Ever food of music coursed along;
And. in the silence, heart to heart con-
fessed
The deep, sweet secrets of Loves
