CAGED.
Because I have craved for the mountains, for the wllil. wide tussock s|>accs: Because 1 was one with Hie open, with the sea ami the air ami the sky: God has seen tit to take me from His rainwrecked, wind worn places. To cnop me up ill a cit>. and leave nie alone to die. Because I have pined for freedom, for the starry heaven above me. For the lilt of nesting song-birds, and the quickening Breath of the spring: God has seen lit to call me from the passionate things that love me. To the seething heart of the city, where no Birds sing. And He is the Cod of Justice! But 1 know not what of sinning. Of youthful follies and fancies, what riotous hopes of Bliss. Stored up from a wayward childhood, could ever succeed in winning A punishment half so heavy or half so Bitter as this. - H. .1. Henderson.
