SHELTER TREES.
AJI flay their outs*retohed arms Outlier the sun-wanned air From the bosom of the earth; And now when night is there,
And the dew upon the field Is grov and glazed with cold, A space of unchilled air Their tents of green enfold;
With the scent of grass, and dust. And trodden weeds, and dew. And the qniet stir of leaves. And the starlight flashing through; And slow and placid there, Tlie cattle erowd. content, Gr.-iteful in their dim way For warmth beneficent. ALICE A. KENNV. Paeroa.
