JAPANESE ANEMONES
They light my quiet garden in the wistful autumn days. When tho leaves like lovely petals flatter down the moss-grown ways 'Moug the sheaves of lilac daisies iu the sunshine's long pole bars They’re like drifts of pearl and. silver, moonbeams broken into stars. Tho’ the winter may be coming, tho’ each sweet day shorter grows, Tho’ there's plaintive robin singing o'ATthe falling of the rose, Tho’ o’er russet leaves the faint wind stirs soft-footed towards the gloom. Who could wish a world that's fairer while anemones yet bloom? Augusta Hancock.
