Text Appearing Before Image:
children of the woods and fields! That bloom by mountain streamlets mid the heather,Or into clusters, neath the hazels, gather— Or where by hoary rocks you make your bields,And sweetly flourish on through summer weather—I love ye all! Beautiful gems ! that on the brow of earth Are fixed, as in a queenly diadem; Though lowly ye, and most without a name,Young hearts rejoice to see your buds come forth. As light erewhile into the dark world came—I love ye all! Beautiful objects of the wild bees love ! The wild bird joys your opening bloom to see,And in your native woods and wilds to be ; All hearts, to Nature true, ye strangely move;Ye are so passing fair, so passing free—I love ye all! I20 WOOD-FRINGE. Beautiful children of the glen and dell— The dingle deep—the moorland stretching wide.And of the mossy fountains sedgy side !Ye oer my heart have thrown a lovesome spell;And though the worldling, scorning, may deride—I love ye all! Robert Nicoll. PINK AND WHITE CLOVER. m r-k
Text Appearing After Image:
LOVE COMES! Love comes as thoughts come ; unperceived at first,They live within, and grow, absorbing allOur life. Astonished we perceive ourselvesTheir slaves. Some, sudden burst, full voicedUpon the mind, as birds gush forth in song.Far in a deep and silent wilderness. Love comes like music ! stealing thro the night.And drawing nearer, nearer, till we seemInvolved in harmony, fast bound in song.Willing, yet prisoned. Or like martial tonesBursting forth wild, and making silence sweetWith gushing thrills and eager trembling swells.Silence that longed and waited for its power. Love comes as winds come ! There are gentle winds. Breathed soft as childrens laughter on the air. Upon our souls, that stronger, mightier grow, And sweep us with them, and will bear us on To havens in eternity—then die In the pure ether that is life and love. ■—Theodore Winthrop. 126 BRING FLOWERS. Bring flowers, young flowers, for the festal board, To wreathe the cup ere the wine is poured ; Bring flowers
