A RHYME OF EYES.

Blue eyes for summer.
 When all the world is glad; < And feathered singers warble, And trees are greenly clad. To labor. with, to long with, To smiIe-to weep-to woo, And close, like any blossom, When a11 1ife's work is through Brown eyes for autumn.
 When on the fallen flowers, And unresisting grasses
 The leaves descend in showers; Not soTnber eyes but sober,
 Ref1ecting love that's true, Blind to life's beauty only
 When all 1ife's work Is through! Grey eyes are for winter,
 The silence and the snow;- When winds are keen and cruel. And clouds are dull and low. They see the rif1ed branches, The frost upon the lane, And sorrow for a summer
 That will not come again!

 But a man can have the sun for a friend, and for his guide a. star; !; And there's no end of voyaging when For the river calls. and the Road calls, and oh! the cali of a bird! Wonder the long horizon lies, and <heF q by night and day The old ships draw to home again y&nsl young ships sail away; And come I may but go must, ana if men ask you why, You may put the blame on the stars and the sun and the White Road and the skyi
