WHEN THE FORESTS ARE GONE.

How shall the lyric thrushes sing,
On the brink of the silver rain
When all the hills are bleak and bald
And all the trees are slaing
Where shall they house their babes OF
brown,
When leafy copse and scar
And budding green and autumn brown
Have melted into the dust of town.
And the babel Of truck and cara
How shall the oriole bubble up
Like seraph into the air,
When all the maple trees are gone
And the boughs are stript and bareg
Where shall he hang his silken nest
To cradle the precious young.
When the last warm feather from his breast
Is torn away from its bower of rest
And the last sad song is sungs
How shall the wild canary WOO.
When the thistle and the plum
Are torn from the orchards on the hills
In the years that are TO Gomez
When every blooming cherry lane
Is loud with the rattle and gong.
What ear shall turn to the birds again?
What hand shall house them from the rain,
And feed the mouths of songs
How shall the homing robins rest,
When the trees have melted down?
When towering temples lift their heads
OF marble above the town?
When never an oak or a river rush
Shall welcome home again
The lark and the bobOlink and thrush
To the song of the cloud and the under.
