AN OPEN SECEET.

" Anemone ! Anemone ! Who cleft your pretty leaves in three, And grouped them round your little feet In three again ? Who left the sweet, faint breath of Spring upon your lips, Her flush upon your petal tips ? Who brings you on this April day From far-off Sun-land, beams of "May, And warms the shivering baby shoots That hide among your tender roots P And, when the North-wind came last week, Who deftly pierced his puffy cheek, And turned the flying frost he blew Across the hills to balmy dew P And who ! "—She shook her dainty head (Or did the wind pass by P) and said : " The frail Anemone has friends." 11 And who ?" but there, the story ends.
