, dont change and alter, We want it just the way it used to be,— So do we come to thee, O Nature—Mother,And never tire of listening to thy tales. Tell us thy spring-time story now,—no other,—That hath a wondrous charm, which never fails. Tell it with all the old-time strength and glory,Fill it with many a happy song and shout; Dont miss one bird or blossom in the story,Dont leave one daffodil or daisy out. Tell us each shade in all the trees soft greening,Dont skip one blade of grass, one bee, one wren,- Each little thing has grown so full of meaning,In the dear story we would hear again. O Mother Nature! thou art old and hoary, And wonderful and strange things thou canst tell; But we, like children, love the spring-time story,And think it best, because we know it well. Bessie Chandler. Time and Love. While Time is sleeping on a summer dayAdonis lisps of love. O beauteous boy,Unstring thy bow, thy magic art employ To steal his scythe and hour-glass away ! Harold Van Santvoord.
