MAY IN IOWA.

This is the sweetest time Of all the year;
The air is cool; with clouds Of silver
sheen
The skies are fecked and lovely and
serene
The golden sun shines down, while sweet
and clear
The glad birds sing In fields and wood
lands near;
Beneath ones feet tho grass grows
fresh and green,
And IN the fragrant woods the violets
lean,
Their blue eyes wet, perhaps with many
Of crystal dew. The sunny woodland
bowers
Arc run Of Joyous sounds. not birds
alone
Make music there, but cattle roam
about
I'm doil and hollow, and the silver tone
or bells ls heard, aud children picking
flowers
Beneath the spreading branches laugh
and shout.
