A ROSE AND A BABE
What of the song IN the heart of a

Curve on curve and fol- on fold

To answer to a sun-wind's Groom
With fragrant, fair delights.
What of the song in the heart OF the
babe?
Curve on curve EMBODIED grace,
Silken cheek and velvet breath,
To answer to a hands caress.
A lullaby and a mothers face.

upon the Italian troops, according to
reports reaching the capital from all

is exceedingly irregular and he fire.
