"SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE."
"Somewhere in France" I think there springs A lovelier leafage, and it brings A fairer flowering, sweet and low, Than that torn sod before could show Among the springtide's offerings.
And there a bird in rapture sings, With fuller, sweeter carollings Than over earlier Springs could know, "Somewhere in France!"
For there, where Spring her largesse flings, He flung a largesse, niore than kings, In kingliest mood, could e'er bestow—
His blossoming, singing life! And, oh, Forever in my heart there rmgs, "Somewhere in France!"
—Minnie Leona Upton, in "Leslie's Weekly."
