Song From The Woodlands.

G. II. Beazley is contributing mighty
good verse to The Lee County Journal,
A recent poem of his in tina paper has the
following stanzas with the genuine favor
Of the fields and woodlands:
''In the long dusty road where the sum
meT heat quivered
Through the path in the forests where
centuries threw
Dreamy shadows across as they rustled
and shivered
To the breeze and the ridge where the
chinquepins grew.
''In the hiek'ry nut trees once again am
swinging,
AS the nuts paiter down to the leaf lit
tered mould.
And the heart is a-Maying, the hooking
bird singing
In the woods that the autumn has fret
ted with gold"

There's sweet little maiden swings,
Her clustering eSses fash gold in the

Swing birds in the tree,

Swing fast and swing slow,
Swing high and swing low,
And then lei The old cat die.
stop it a moment the swing in its
fight
This dear little maiden to tease,
And the dark flashing eyes they are
pleadingly bright;
She echoes "FlNG LOTTIE DIN PESE."
Swing you and swing me,
Swing birds in The tree,
For life is all happiness now;
They are coming the years,
There are shadows and tears,
And the leaves will be gone from the Dough
threaten to leave, she is ready to cry
She ceases to Chatter and sing;
With her lips puckered up md tear in
her eye
AS she asks-"HOWS DOM TO FIN G?'
Would God that the future no sorrow
could bring,
And time i'll its speeding within hold,
Must 1t dim the bright eyes Of the child
in the swing
Or silver the tresses of gold?
swing soft and low,
SO slow, v-e-r-y--s-l-o-w;
1t hardly is seeming to creep,
And her head starts to bow,
She is satisfied now,
For the dear little maid is asleep.
