Blue Bird
Spotted Fawn.
AS Your Hair Grows Whittier
To MRS. W. c. W., Tremonton, Ut
1 am happy to print the beautiful littl
song you requested some time ago, a
several have responded to the reques
for 1t.
/ THE BROKEN PINION
/ 1 walked through the woodland
meadows,
/ Where sweet the rushes sang;
/ And 1 found on bed of MOSES
A bird with a broken wing:
1 healed its wound, and each morning
/ 1t sang it's old sweet strain,
But the bird with the broken pinion
Never scared as high again
I found a young life broken
BY sins seductive art;
And, touched with a Christ-liks pity,
1 took him to my heart.
He lived with noble purpose
And struggled not in vain;
But the life that sin had stricken
Never scared as high again
But the bird with the broken pinion
Kept another from the snare;
And the life that sin had stricken
Raised another from despair.
Each loss has Its compensation,
There is healing for every pain;
But the bird with a broken Pinion
Never scars as high again
To MARY ELLEN, Sheridan, Ore
And now through the kindness Of an
other reader 1 am enabled to print the
words to your song and 1 am sure all
the readers will enjoy it.
THE COTTAGE BY THE SEA
childhood's days now pass before me-
Forms and scenes of long ago,
Like a dream they hover Ger me,
Calm and bright as evening glow
Days that knew no shade of sorrow,
When my young heart, pure and free,
Joyful haild each coming morrow
In the cottage by the sea-
Fancy sees the rose-trees twining,
Round the old and rustic door;
And. below, the white beach shining,
Where I gathered shells of yore;
Hears my mothers gentle warning,
AS she took me on her knee;
And feel again life's morning
In the cottage by the sea.
What though years have rolrd above
Though mid fairer scenes 1 roam,
Yet 1 neer shall cease to love thee,
Childhood's dear and happy home!
And when life's long day is closing,
OH how pleasant would it be.
On some faithful breast reposing.
In the cottage by the sea.
