MOTU GORGE.
Dawn oil a summer morning. Soft air on the mountain side, Birds whistling a bright good-moro-TrickUng water by rocky side. Driving along fernv bowers _ Where i'raii, fairv, white daisies blow, And mi round the roads to the sum—Far down are the gullies below Curving bends —there are myriads: Dense hush the mountain-tops clothe And of songsters are trilling, ,' . , . For here, undisturbed—their abode. “It’s the world’s scenic drive” —I believe it Wbpvp forest giants guard the nines long. On the old Wo on track you are creeping And the motor-horn “peep-eps; its song. It's a glorious drive, but it’s nervy. ■Rut do it if change comes vour way: The grandeur of forest reppvs you It's a vision for mam- a day. —Wary Ramsay Ellen Blair.
