MOURNING.
j Shall I wear mourning for my soldier ,- dead, il—a believer? Givo-.rne red, Or give me royal purple for the King At whose high court my love is visiting. Dress me in.-grceiu.for growth, for lite made new ; For skies his dear feet march, dress m© in blue; In white for his white soiil—robe me in gold For all the pride that his new rank shall hold,* ~'". In earth's dim. gardens blooms no hr.o too bright- ... ' To dress" me for n.y love who walks in light! —Gertrude Knevels, in the "Outlook."
