WHAT THE WAVES SING.
Now the waves sing me a merry song, Now they sing me a song of sorrow ; . To-day they exult in the music of hope, And they moan in despair to-morrow. Now they chant softly, "The world is fair, And all hearts may be true and loving ; Anon they Bhout hoarsely that evil is rife, And no heart but is false in the proving. And thus the waves sing to ray changing mood — To the tune that my heart is making ; They laugh when I laugh, and they weep when I weep, And they sigh when my heart is aching. And ever I feel, as my mood is cast
With th« changes time is winging. The tale that my heart would tell, is best told In the songs that the waves are singing. — Katherine Hazeiavood. Mount Martha, June 1894.
