THE TREE OUTSIDE MY WINDOW.
' As grey as dew and very still " I saw my morning tree until l The sun acroes tjie mountains came r And flooded it witli cold and flame. Into a spire of light it turned. ■» And the young leaves in splendour burned; - Bright silver swept the stem's stark grey, e Lifted to beauty by the day. i At evening, sombre, still, serene, „ Hidden the silver and the green ; ® No shifting tracery of leaves ™ Its smooth and darkling mass relieves: ■. A tree of ancient bronze it seems, „ Lighted with dim. metallic gleams. Nobly conceived and wrought to grace 3 A great kins's stately burial place. —ALICE A. KENNY. e Paeroa.
