A MAUDLE-IN BALLAD
3563
My lank limp lily, my long lithe lily,
My languid lily-love fragile and thin,
With dank leaves dangling and flower-flap chilly,
That shines like the shin of a Highland gilly; skin!
Mottled and moist as a cold toad's…
The Country Child's Good-Night
1472
Good-Night Good-night, dear hills!
So still you lie
Against the bosom of the sky,
I know you must be fast asleep,
And all night long the stars will ke
Their tender watches over you,
So must I soon be…

A SONG OF SUN AND SUMMER
ELIZABETH ROBERTS MACDONALD
4153
Now shimmering waves of fairy bloom
Across the meadows break and run,
And all the good brown earth is glad
Beneath the glory of the sun
In bubbles blown of crystal sound
The tinkling…

Palo towers are you that scarce have known the sun!
Your little faces like sad blossoms seem
Shut In some room, there helplessly to dream
Of distant glens where through glad rivers run
And winds at evening whisper Daylight…

Step Boldly to the Front
1767
Step boldly to the front, farmers,
To the place where you belong,
And harken while I make your cause
The burden of my song
Year after year you labor
To feed earth's hungry crew,
While trusts are wily scheming…

At a Western Window
1547
I gaze from the western window
Athwart the narrowing day,
Where the sunshine and the shadows
In parting glory play,
To violet Isles enchanted
That smile at the open door
As the argosies of evening -
Sail through…

THE SEXTON
43610
Nigh to a grave that was newly made
Leaned a sexton old on his earth-worn spade
His task was done, and he paused to wall
The funeral train through the open gate
A relic of bygone days was he,
And his locks were as white…
Never Alone

I've seen the lighining lashing
And heard the thunder rošt;
I'vo felt ain's breakers dashing
Trying to conquer my soul:
I've heard the voice of my Savior,
Telling me still to fight on:
He promised never to leave me,…
A Question
Mabel Mahin
1912
I study the faces of old women
And ask myself a question, new and strange
To my own features will there come a change?
That look of meek submission? Am I, then,
No different from the others? And again,
I ask,…
Fame

To some 'tis given to present

To sway the effervescent crowd
But some-ah, some-elate and cool,
On Friday afternoon at school
May rattle off, without a check,
"The boy…

Pity the Poor Rich

What's the use of hurrying, and worrying, and scurrying?
Cease your labor, tired neighbor; come a while and play
What's the use of plundering, and thundering, and blundering?
Stop a while and learn to smile, and think…

How sweet to walk within the woods
Where spreads the sylvan shade;
To roam within the rural della
Or fairy forest glade;
To sit beside the streamlet fair
And watch the babbling rills,
And see upon the mossy rocks:

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky
When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,…

It won't be long
Till hens will lay
Fresh eggs again,
And every day:
And cackle loud,
And cacklo long
In an exultant
Glory song:
A large fresh egg
And one a day:
This is the old hen's

I will do remember the old fashioned homestead,
That beautiful place where I first saw the light;
Where oft to have played on the green when in
childhood
That lovely old spot was so happy and bright
