LOST VOICES.
Tho ring-doves in tho April, woods Sit quiet as nuns in pearl-groy hoods, Domuro and 1 plump; with folded wing, Aloof, aloft—but whon they sing Tho ring-doves in their larch-tree nests Are choristers in rose-red vests.
Or they are lovers, whon at morn, In silvery birch, in dells of thorn, Or hid in tho pear-trco's tumbling snow Ring-dovo answorS ring-dove low: Mourners at ovo, that haunt old shrines, Lost voices in tho purplo pines. ' :. < —Hamish Maclaren in Observer, London.
