the plow look backward:
Though the plowshare cut through
the flowers of life to its fountains.
Though 1t pass DER the graves OF the
dead and the hearths Of the living,
1t is the will of the Lord: and His
mercy endureth for ever!"
So he entered the house: and the
hum of the wheel and the singing
Suddenly ceased; for Priscilla, aroused
by his step on the threshold,
Rose as he entered. and gave him her
hand, in signal OF welcome,
Saying, II knew it was you, when /
heard your step in the passage;
For l was thinking of you, as l sat
there singing and spinning"
Awkward and dumb with delight, that
thought of him had been mingled
Thus in the sacred psalm, that came
from the heart of the maiden,
Silent before her he stood, and gave
her the flowers for an answer,
Finding no words for his thought. He
remembered that day in the
winter,
After the first great snow, when he
broke a path from the village,
Keeling and plunging along through
the drifts that encountered the
doorway,
Stamping the snow from his feet as
he entered the house, and Priscilla
Laughed at his snowy locks, and gave
him a seat by the fireside,
Grateful and pleased to know he had
thought of her in the snow-storm.
Had he but spoken then, perhaps not
in vain had he spoken:
Now it was all too late the golden mo-
ment had vanished!
So he stood there abashed, and gave
her the flowers for an answer.
Then they sat down and talked OF
the birds and the beautiful spring
time.
Talked of their friends at home. and
the Mayfower that sailed on the
morrow.
Il have been thinking all day." said
gently the Puritan maiden,
Dreaming all night, and thinking all
day, Of the hedge-rows Of Eng
land
They are in blossom now, and the
country is all like a garden;
Thinking of lanes and fields, and the
song of the lark and the hnnet,
Seeing the village street, and familiar
faces of neighbors
Going about as of old. and stopping
to gossip together,
And, at the end of the street, the vii
lage church, with the ivy
Climbing the old gray tower, and the
quiet graves in the churchyard.

He was man Of honor, of noble and
generous nature:
Though he was rough, he was kindly;
she knew how during the winter
He had attended the sick, with hand
as gentle as woman's;
Somewhat hasty and hot, he could not
deny it, and headstrong,
Stern as q soldier might be. but
hearty, and placable always.
Not to be laughed at and scorned, be-
cause he was little Of stature;
For he was great Of heart, magnani-
nous, courtly, courageous;
Any woman In Plymouth, nay, any
woman In England,
Might be happy and proud to be called
the wife Of Miles standish!
But as he warmed and glowed. IN
his simple and eloquent language,
Quite forgetful Of self. and full Of the
praise Of his rival, 8
Archly the maiden smiled, and, with
eyes overrunning with laughter.
