VAGRANT VERSE
TOKYO. (Seen from Kamakura J White falls the snow on Fuji, whiter you It lingers on the flowing plum below My balcony. The roofs of Tokyo With its soft fiinger-prints are scarcely wet, Like cheeks of children who so soon forget, And where tears fell with brighter roses’ glow. Thus the sung little bouses melt the anew From warm tiled roofs and drive sway regret. The sun breaks forth and now my plum tree smiles, Charming its feathery burden into dew, That all is flowers may drink a health to Spring ’ For February in Japan beguiles Even my homesick heart from thoughts of you. New England, still icebound and btaatering. —Lilia Cabot Perry, ia 'Bw Jar ©f Dressas;
