Ee cannot do a thin;; but I Peep and find the reason why, For I love him, and I scok Every evening in the week To peep bohind his frowning eye With httlo querj, httlo pry, And make him, if a woman can, Happier than any man. . . . Yesterday ho gripped her tight, And cut her throat-and serve her right. "■ —James Stephens, in "The Nation. . THE STONES OF STAMTON Bland was the morn, no speck or flaw ' Troubling her mien and hue, When, raid the April held* I saw The Stones pf Stanton Drew. Clear-hearted in the golden air The eternal lyrist flew; But dark, and full of silence, were The Stones Drew. laled and estn&gotl from every mood Of all that lived'and grow, Deep in forgotten time they stood— The Stones of Stanton Drew.
