SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Words and Music.
/ thought heard robin sing
Out yonder In the lane.
No argument it tried to bring
While sounding it's refrain.
It came just when our statesmen went
No speech it tries to make.
But brings a promise of content
When blossoms shall awake.
The flow Of eloquence is fine,
Although, to our surprise,
OF talk 1t strikes dangerous line.
When angry passions rise.
And so, while eloquence may fling
It's words, polite or plain,
I'd rather hear friend Robin sing
Out yonder in the lane.
