BECAUSE OF YOU.
(For N.Z. "Truth.") Sweet have I known the blossoms of the morning, Tenderly tinted to their hearts of dew, But now the flowers have a sweeter , fragrance Because of you. In the long years of silences that part us, Dimmed by, our tears, and darkened to our. view, Close shall I hold sweet memories and gladness, Because of you. In the past years we chafed at pain and waiting, ' Grasping at gladness as the ohilddren do, Now is it sweet, to wait, and joy. to suffer Because of you. Whether our Kps shall touch, our' •hearts still, hunger, Whether our love be fed, or joys, be • few, . • Life will be sweeter and more ;worth the living Because of you. ARTHUR PICARD. Eltham, Christmas Day, 'OG.
