THE things of every day are all so sweet-
The morning meadows wet with dew,
The dance of dalsies in the noon, the blue
Of far-off hills where twilight shadows lie,
The night with all its tender mystery of sound

'If our looks grow rather frigid
And our stately spines stand rigid
At the thought of what the Outlanders begrudge us,
Treat them gently, friends-remember
That of Truth we are the Ember
And the Shrine-so who are they that…

A life on the ocean wave,
A home on the rolling deep
Where the scattered waters rave
And the wild winds their revela keep!
Like an eagie caged, 1 pine

Oh give me the flashing…

Sing a song of sixpence, a pocket full of rye,
Four-and-twenty key-holes dance be- fore his eye:
When the door is opened, his wife de- gins to chin,
"Isn't this a pretty hour to let a fel- low In"

"I'm wearied of the whirl," quoth she,
"Henceforth the simple life for me
Methinks it would be very wise
To take my breakfast ere I rise-
Of coffee just a single cup"

And your tea set blue
And your play house, too,

But childish troubles will soon pass…

A little tolling A little pain, n day by day: little strife,
A little Joy-and thay is life
A little sort-lived summer's morn,
When joy seems all so newly born,
When one day's sky is blue above
When one bird sings-and that is love

We want to roam the grassy meads,
And watch the festive cow
We want to climb the old stone wall,
And find a shady nook,
Where we can loaf all afternoon
Beside the…

In a peaceful farming vale,
And the folks were plunged in trouble-
Hushed the music of the flall

On the dear old farmhouse roof:
Much he loved the widow's daughter,…

Tom took young Ariel for a spin,
(She was his heart's desire)
For Ariel was a "fly" young thing
But Thomas, he was "Flyer"
Some day he'd win that Deere young heart
Between those shoulders narrow,
And hoped that soon…

Oh Love that will not let me go

That in thy ocean depths its now

Oh light, that followest all my way,

The woods, the wold, the hill and plain,
The valley and the lea,
The meadow green, reen, the brook between
Is joy enough for me
I ask no painted countryside,
No artificial skies;
The picture planned by
God's good hand…
