The Country Child has fragrances
He breathes about him as he goes:
Clear eyes that look at distances,
And in his cheeks the wilding rose.
The sun, the sun himself will stain
The country face to his own red
The red-gold of the ripening grain,
And bleach to white the curly head.
He rises to the morning lark.
Sleeps with the evening primroses,
Before the curtain of the dark
Let's down its splendor. starred with
bees.
When he is old, when ne goes sad,
Hobbling upon a twisted knee.
He keeps somewhat of joys ne had
Since an old countryman is he.
He keeps his childhood's innocencies.
Though his old head be bleached TO

Forget-me-nots still hold his eyes.
And i'm his cheeks old roses blow.

Sometime when all life's lessons have
been learned
And sun and stars forever more have
set
The things which our weak judgments
here have spurned-
The things DER which we grieved
with Iashes wet,
VIII flash before us and in life's dark
night,
AS stars shine most in deeper tints
of blue;
And we shall see how all Gods plans
were right
And what most seemed reproof was
love most true.
And we shall see how while we frown
and sigh,
Gods plans go on as best for you
How when we called He needed not
our cry
Because His wisdom to the end could
see;
And cen as prudent parents disaIlow
Too much of sweets for craving ba-
byhood
So God perhaps is keeping from US now
Life's sweetest things because it
seemeth good
And you shall shortly know that
heightened breath
Is not the sweetest gift God sends
His friend.
And that sometimes the sable pail of
death
Conceals the fairest boon His love
can send
If we could push ajar the gates of life.
And stand within and all Gods
workings see,
We would interpret all this doubt and
strife
And for each mystery find there
key
But not today. There. be content, poor
hearts,
Gods plans like lilies pure and white
unfold;
We must not tear the close-shut leaves
apart.
Time will reveal the caIyxes of gold:
And if through patient toll we reach
the land
Where tired feet with sandals 1oosed
may rest,
Where we shall clearly know and up-
derstand-
l think that we shall say-"God knew
the best
