STORM.
If I had liked their laughter I'd have stayed— There was fine cheer, red fire, a chair for each. Tea, and a white iced cake -within good reach, And a quick dance tune, gajly suns and played; All these bright people, powdered, groomed and warm—. I should have loved them, not have been forlorn. Bat they laughed— And oh, they laughed such lovely things to scorn ! So I rode out against tb" -omlns , storm, Biting and keen and L. ak from out the west, Hail on my frozen mouth, wind in sir hair— A clean steel blade to cat hot thoughts away and leave tiu beet— Love of kind hearts and gentleness. A bitter way— But out beyond this tempest belt there lici, Visioned and frail, A yellow sunset for my wond'ring eyes. —ISHBEIi VBITCH,
Wanganui.
