BY EMILY RAY GREGORY.

There is little river in France:
Over the stream bird may swing
With stroke of his wing,
Friends from side to side may sing,
And glance as they pass along
On either hand great nations stand
But though near sundered far
As far as-right from wrong
There is ocean deep and wide
Across it the gull fling
Without resting his wing
No voice from shore to shore NAV ring.
On either side great nations abide
And yet though far apart
They close-so close
Heart touches heart, -
