VAGRANT VERSE
THE EWEET O' THE YEAR. The unkind hills are green again; The river runs serene again; All down the miles Of orchard aisles The pink lip blooms axe, seen again; To garden close And dooryard p.ol Come back the rose And bergamot. The ardent blue leans near again; The far-down swallow is here again; To his thorn-bush Returns the thrush, Anri the Faintr-d-Wings appear again. . In young surpr:.-e The- meadows ; m All stany ryes To meet the .-tin. Warm runs young blood in the veina again, And warm loves good in the rains again ; Earth, all aflush With the fecund rush, To her Heart's Desire attains again; While stars outbeal The exultant word — “Death’s in defeat And Love is lord,” —By Charles G. D. Roberts, in To-day.
