"LADY SPRING." (Original.) Black as a raven is

her hair, White as a lily her skin so fair. Her dress Is long and frilly,: And yellower than the daffodilly. And as she passes on her way, With a radiant smile and a face so gay, ■ The flowers nod their drowsy heads, And spring up from their dark, darkbeds. ..-'■■.■ The shy little pansy shyly does.peep After her dreary long winter sleep. The lark nnd the .tui sing their prettiest notes, And to her' ears It gently floats. And with her hair streaming behind her, The notes they still Play, As she disappears Into the trees beyond, And gaily flies away. "SKirPERJACK" (10). .
