A SUGGESTION.
She had lingered long by the window-pane, And watched with her childish, impatient eyes, The countless drops of the beating rain, And the leaden, relentless skies. At length, when the dreary day was done, She told her thoughts in the twilight grey : ‘ You know there’s a bureau in Wellington, Where weather is stowed away. ‘ And when it’s so stormy and cold and wet, I wonder what they are thinking about, Not to open some other drawer and get A different weather out !’
Hattie Lummis.
