LOSt---LOve.
by Ernest Camp in the Dublin Times.

Sitting ont beneath smiling
Sunday sun, when all the world
seemed wrapped IN lovliness and
light, his heart was sad, and all
the beauty Of the day brought
to him no hope or inspiration.
Above upon tall oaks bend
ing bo1ghs a dozen sparrows
sprang and romped about in
riotous Tevelry, and fragrant
blossoms blown from off bush
were tanned against his forhead
and his feet. Nearby a blood,
red roscid rose but bent to rob
the bonded zephyr of it's breath,
and lilies leaned to learn les
son of lost love. Behind the
scented cedar where he sat,
a robin romped, unguarded,
uDafraid, and chickens crowed
and chirped and charmed their
lives away. About the fragile
fence which formed a farce OF
present and Of past, a honey
snckle bush was 'twined and
chung as close as Clarlssa to
her child.
The peach trees blossomed all
about, and on it's boughs the
mockingbird sat in musical
majesty, as from it's throat there
thrilled tuDe of hope and hap
piness. But through it all in
silence sat the man of whom we
FIRST spoke. as on bis brow sad
sorrow sulked and sued for
sympathy. Gods glorious sun.

glaring gold and kindly kissed
his furrowed forehead full and
free, and in their dreams the
daises delved in solace for his
soul, About his seat the velvet
vlolets veered and and viewed
in fragrant fear, until at last an
angel came in beauty to console:
why sorrowest thouP" she
questioned, soft and low.
Reluctantly lifting his eyes
until they met those of who was
speaking, he answered, hoarse
and slow:
"Lost-Love."
"The angel, and left him in
his wretchedness for awhile,
but as he was about to turn to
his troubled thoughts again, a
soft. sweet voice came and
whispered in his ear:
'Arise and come with me and
be comtorted, for l am God-I
am Love"
The sad one sat land stared
but soon there stole upon his
saddened face a sainted smile.
Arising then and leaning on the
arm of Love, he walked away
from sorrow and from shame.
