PEACE.
Out of the heat, and the blinding dust,. Lips to my lips,'you quench my thirst; Heart to my heart and the green willows shiver, As you draw me to-you, Lovely River. Grey and green, and cool, and sweet, .. Laving my hands and burning feet! Oh, I've come back to rest with you— Creep to' the gentle breast of you, In bracken and fern, and silver willow, With grey-green-stones to be my pillow. Water and willow still crooning together, And I, asleep In your arms forever. s—■H.G.j Hawko , s-JBay 4
