WINNIE IN THE POOL.
BY KATHEEINE TYNAN.
Pure woodlan-i well, where starry nights Sink down divinely" , doubled, Where day by'day soft coloured lights, Soft shadows, dream untroubled.
Cool —in our feverish world so cool, So hushed amid our noises, That even the throstle, in the pool, Not sings, but merely poises;' ,
Where life is all reversed, our low Made high, our upper nether; And beech boughs topsyturvy grow, And golden broom and heather.
And one sweet" shadow, gay yet mute, Glides coyly to the surface, When Winnie comes—meets foot with foot, And lifts its face to her face.
