WHEN EVENING COMES.

Scene. —Drawn by Dulcie Moffatt, Waipukurau. SUMMER. (By Doreen Glceson; age 14.) A ripple of waters, laughing in glee, A cry of a seagull cut on the sea, And the wing of a boat on the crest of a wave, That's summer to me. The gleam o? an azure -sky, The song of a lark on high, And the lazy hum of a honey-bee, That's summer to me. The tinkling of a fern-bound brook, The carol of a bell-bird in a shadv nook, And the ruby-red of a Christmas tree, That's summer to me.

(By Nancy Harvey. Westwell Road, Takapnna, N. 2: ago 10 years.) When tlie evening comes and the night draws near I, like an elf, Will then drink of the dew in the purpled air And find myself To be borne on a cloud to the golden west, And there to lie And to dream and to think all alone and watch Tho birds go by. On a prancing white steed I shall ride beyond The sunset edge, I shall ride through the sky and shall clear the night Like hawthorn hedge, I shall sup of white wine in a goblet gold, Beneath the moon I shall cat wild red berries and honey ■ taste With silver spoon. I shall gather blue lupins along the sky, And I shall thread Pretty chains from the stars in the Milky Way. And roses red ... For at night there is leisure to while away When day is done, I I shall ride far beyond the red sunset J' edge | When ev'ning comes. |'
