SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Songs and Seasons.

SOuES AlU SeASOnS.
A merry song Of Spring is set
Unto the grace Of q soubrette.
And then the Summer songs arise,
Mid verdure meath resplendent skies
And life becomes a gentle dream
With hope or memory for its theme.
So, Madame Summer will appear
The prima donna of the year.
Next, Autumn, clad in colors rare,
In state appears, surprising fair.
In majesty, both grave and grand,
A Goddess from Valhalla land.
Next comes old Winter, harsh OF
shrill.
He bends existence to his will.
The world Is sad. for all it knows
Is cold, uncompromising prose.
