RETREAT.
A garden filled with briar and yellow rose, Pale lavender and. drooping jessamine, An arbor where the honeysuckle growE, A corner where the yellow sunflowers A cottage with smajl windows open wide To catch the whisper of the quiet day, A little wood beyond, where branches hide A river, singing all along its way. All thee© are mine—and hero the noon-day With pensive beauty all the garden fills. And after sunset, -when the day is done. The wind blows softlv from the cloudy hills. And all the leaves are lifted in the vale. To the long music of the nightingale —Dorothy Roberts.
