"PROPHET."
(By Phyllis Hughes. Pleasant Road, Glen Eden.)
He sang to me his verses from the tree- , tops, A jovous gladsome secret told to me Of new buds bursting on the weeping willows, Of blowing gold upon the kowhai tree. He shook the clover incense in the vallev, He rocked the nest up in the pine so high, He told of pink-tipped daisies in the meadow, • , Of lazy, floating clouds in summers He shouted* to the world his glad new tidings Of butterflies and birds upon the wing. ' 0: flowers, and trees, and heavenly scented gardens When summer comes to take tne throne from spring.
