A SONG
I sing' to-day of a red, red rose And wliat it gives to mo. Of perjjme rare vnat .reely Sows in wealth from the laden tree ; Of velvet richness, fold on fold, Petaled abundantly, Maintained while spent like mines of gold; That yield esulllngly ; It gives me, too, a sense of poise Eegi.i, yet not apart, unfolding from its inmost joys Enough to fill my heart." So much this rose is giving me X feel that I must give My grateful praise in melody . That my gift, too, may live. —Laura Gerahty.
