RETREAT.

A garden filed with bfiar and yellow
rose,
Pale lavender and dropping jessamlne,
An arbor whore the honeysuckle grows,
A corner where the yellow sunfowers
shine.
A cottage with small windows open wide
To catch the whisper of tho quiet day.
A little wood beyond, where branches hide
A river, singing all along its way.
All these are mine-and here the MONDAY

With pensive beauty all the garden
fills.
And after sunset, when the day is done,
The wind blows softly from the cloudy
hills.
And all the leaves are lifted in the vale,
