THE SONGS OF TENNYSON.
The Hon. Roden Noel has a poem on ' The Songs of Tennyson 'in the Leisure Hour. I quote the opening lines : His song's abounding, clear, and tranquil river Flows through the Und, beneflciently broad, Flows fertilising; mirrors in its journey Whate'er pertains to our imperial raco Of a moat ancient Order's pillar=d state, Tima-tinted Costom, firm palatial Law. Reverend spires of hoar consoliu* Faith, And coir tollable homes of wedded Peace On daisisd lawn a-flower ; the grange, the glebe, The lordly park, whore wander English girls, Beautiful, pure in play linked, or with youths, Kuddy and stalwart, loyal gentlemen Of e'eanly life, their lovers; village maidens ; Bucolic men, dry humour in their talk.
