THE CHERRY TREE
Loveliest of trees, the cherry now Is hung with bloom along the bough. And stands about the woodland nde Wearing white for sweet Springtide. Now, of my three-score years and ten, Twenty will not come again, And take from seventy years a score. It only leaves me fifty more. And since to look at things in bloom Fifty springs are little room, About the woodlands I will go To see the cherry hung with snow.
—A. E. HOUSMAN &* . * NEW LAMBS
"Have you seen the new lambs frolicking in the paddocks? They sound exactly like small babies crying. They look so tunny on their wobbly legs and curly coats. Also the jonquils and daffys, looking so bright in their new 'spring dresses."
"SCOTCH HEATHER" (12). Brooklyn.
