THE CALL OF THE FLOWERS.

DO you hear the marching OF the
flowers tiny feet,
And the geptle murmur of their voices
soft and sweet?
Listen. they are calling you to field
, and wood away;
Reck'ning you with fingers small and
smiles so blithe and gay.
To hear the flowers voices you must
open very wide
All the windows of your soul, and
every door beside;
Then their music, louder grown,
sounding high and clear.
Bursts In wondrous melody upon the
listening ear!
lone Hartley, In the Christian
Advocate
