A GREY DAY IN CALIFORNIA

Grey and timid, sad and 1 chill, Tim morning crouches on the hill. Is this the glad arid golden morning That crouches heavy-eyed and ill? I In London early morning rain Has often washed my window-pane. And rolled along the yellow gutters; Aml Imre come misty skies again: A sweet and a surprising thing Is daybreak in an English spring. When on the alder in the garden 1 In tender light the linnets sing. So rarely, rarely did it come! But now I cannot count the sum Of these recurring brilliant moru--1 nigs—- } So many that my praise is dumb! ' Tins grey day comes as a something | lost ! And found again—a friendly ghost, j The air of England. Aud i wonder | Whether 1 love .sunshine the most. I Yet sunshine taught me love of grey, 1 Always unvalued till to-day, j When in her shy and secret beauty ! The day broke o’er me, cold and grey. j — l Timodev Maynard, in'the New Ilei public, | NERVOUS WOMEN j Are you nervous and morbid, languid I and unable to eat?
