Bohemia.
ITO FLoRRN

ITO FLORENCE.)
Alas for those who do not know
This land where ninth and friendship reign.
Where greed and envy dare not 20
Where others good is counted eanl
The dear land Of Bohemia.
True love, that laughs al golden chain
At jewelled gaud and silk attire
That holds loves self life's chiefest gain
kiper manhoods crown, soft youths desire
Is loved in bright Bohemia.
Pictures that catch the red and gold
~ glowing sunsets gorgeous DYES
The storm-tossed oceans pillows bold
Inc tender April mornings skies,
Are painted in Bohemia
Songs that of vernal woodlands breathe.
OF messy hooks where violets blow
! OF whispering trees whose branches wres,be
Ger shaded paths where lovers 90.
Are painted in Bohemia
Music and Art uncrowned perehanee.
Sweet Poesy with her ivy leaf
Love, laughter wine, gay song and dance.
friendship supreme in time OF grief.
All these are in Bohemia.
How wearisome the measured hours
Our chamber walls, how close and cold
Our fenced-in walks and trm-kept bowers.
Where rigid stern conventions hold
From Freedom and Bohemia
Youths sweet unwisdom sure was wise
To man-made gods life's wine Is she'd
Bleak is the world to time-taught eyes
The fragrant primrose wreath is dead
That crowned us in Bohemia.
We've worshiped gods with fleet of elavo
Served cruel kings by custom made,
Our natures warped, and day by day
Cold iron bonds on impulse laid,
SO have we lost Bohemia.
Once, for while, you seemed to stand
Where unknown blossoms bathed your feet
In boundaries of the borderland-
Were not the breezes fresh and sweet
That kissed you from Bohemia?
The purple splendors of the night
Have wrapped me and the weary wears
Fall off like withered leaves, and bright
Sweet visions come, my spirit hears
The joy bells of Bohemia
The locked door feels the golden kew.
The path, with thorns and briers o'ergrown.
Untrodden long is wide and free
For this one night is still my own
And leads me to Bohemia
Tomorrow is so far away
Its weight may not be borne by me-
The fretting cares that married the day
Have vanished, and my soul is free
To rest in glad Bohemia

niiration for the optimistic Brown, begins song
of prase-now jubilant hymn, now a pure
lyric and now paean showing Browning's vic
tory over death itself In his ecstatc enthusiasm
and his ignorance of conventionalities of city
streets Apollo Is taken for a disturber of the
peace and, with Keats is hustled off TO jail by
the police. Here his steam Of Browning song
flows on apace" until Keats well-nigh faints
with the overpowering music which Apollo finds
in Browniug's verse.

CaLHomia-7he Land Of Poppfes.

Where, blue and silver in the sun,
The broad Pacific swells,
And, king among the forest trees,
The giant redwood dwells;
And frosty winter never smites
The smiling earth with gloom,
In all their gay and glowing pride
The langud peoples bloom.
The hills are rich with yellow ore,
And in the wales below
The luscious fruits and fragrant flowers
OF every climate grow;
And by the ruined missions walls
And from the wayside sod
And all along the garden walks
The drowsy peoples nod.
Bright, erumpled blossoms, silken pink,
Pure white and crimson deep,
And vivid scarlet everywhere
They tell a tale OF sleep,
When purple shadows long and cool
Among the vineyards he,
And apples ripen into gold
Beneath turquoise sky.
While Louisiana on her shield
The sweet magnolia shows,
And Maine displays the brown pine cone,
New York the queeny rose,
And Delaware prefers the peach
% garland her renown,
The Golden State elects 10 wear
A regal poppy crown.
