Show WHERE SHE COMES. " ' With heavy elders overhung, Hulf hid in clover masses, An old fence rambles on, among , The tangled meadow irrasses. It makes a shade for lady fern ' Which nestles close beside itj while clematis, at every turn, , nd roses ahnoa; hide it. In shade of overhangine sprays ' ', . And down a sunny hollow, By hazel copse, and woodland ways, ; '.'.. The winding fence I follow; By rose and thorn and fragrant dew, . In search of somethiug sweeter ! The orchard gap, where she comes through. And I go down to meet her I i' ' " i The sunlight slants along the fence, Where lichens gray it over, And stirs a hundred dreamy scents From.fern and mint and clover; ' Butithough the air Is sweet today I know of something sweeter: 1 4 f That she can only come this way, - And I am sure to meet her I, And so, while chipmunks ran a match To tell the wrens who's coming, And all across the brier patch T hero sounds a drowsy humming The hum of honey Booking; bees I seek for something sweeter: . A gap amongst the apple trees, v Where I am going to meet herl -Charles B. Going In Scribner's. |
