The Wind,n Men.nras

In summer the wind comes whispering
So quiet and soft and low:
III shake the trees with a little breeze.
And cool the warm day So"
In winter the wind comes bowling,
And hurrying on he goes:
"a coverlet white l will spread tonight
Made out of the drifting SHOWS"
In autumn the wind comes moaning
And crying about the caves:
"Old Earth, you'll be gray when l strip
away
Your red and yellow leaves"
In springtime the wind comes laughing,
When the days are long and bright:
"Oh, the earth is new and the sky is blue,
And living is pure delight !"
And love the four winds blowing,
As over the world they roam,
For, noisy or mild, they sing to the child
Who listens and dreams at home.

host held the paper while the man re-
peated It verbatim and every word In
its proper place.
The surprise of the host, however,
was even greater and his skepticism
