sound of rending wood. He ran cut

1t was the truth. When the barrel

able to learn the name of the con

RAIN ON THE PRAIRlES.

oh, the dear, sweet, summer rain
Hear it falling. falling, falling,
Through the darkness softly calling,
"Waken, flowers Lift up each chalice
Dropping from the rude winds malice;
Lift your buds, 50 shy and tender,
| will kiss them into spendor,
Humble grasses, creeping slowly,
Beautiful and meek and lowly,
Emerald spear AID red-cheeked clover,
Drink my fullness, trimming over.
Stately trees. with arms approaching
For my bounty long beseeching,
Let each bough, wind-bent and shaken,
With new life and beauty waken.
Patient grain, grow strong and stronger
You shall faint and droop no longer!
All things growing, all things living,
Greet my coming with thanksgiving"
So we hear it softly calling,
Through the darkness gently falling,
Tree and bud and blossom blessing,
All the waiting earth caressng-
Oh, the dear. sweet, summer rain!
