of people mentioning the fact to me-.

THE PASSION FLOWER.

Adown worn roads of by gone years,
Past the SPOT where the viole-s grew
For q perfume clings forever there
And through the quivering Autumn
air
Comes an unbidden picture of you.
The road spreads out, as the years go
by,
That leads to the sunsets glow,
And because of you
There's a passion flower,
Where Yiolets ought to grow.
