Show A BOXFUL OF MINT. jfl Some one has sent me a boxful of H mint, H With the sii.ell of the dew and the B green of its glint, H The dream of a spring at the foot of ' H a hill, i H A willow-oak spreading its shade - o'er a rill; i H A boxful of mint from tho valleys ' jH of dawn, H With the breath of the blossoms of i M Eden thereon! ( jA ; H Some one has sent me a boxful of M green, H Vvith the spear-bloom all regal in HH purple-soft sheen; KPJ An odor of gardens, old gardens of Hl song, S Where roses recline and the daffo- 9 dils throng: 8 M A boxful of mint from the shores W m of a stream ' Kfl Where barefooted Summer sits down in her dream! HI Some one has sent me a whiff of the M shine M And the green of the vales that are " JH sweethearts of mine; HI A glimpse of bright meadows, a iRJI gleam of sweet lane, , wiM 4nd a heart in the land of the lilies j again : S A boxful of mint, full of dreams Bfl running over, ?! With lilac and rose and the honey- HI sweet clover! KM ft sits on my desk, and I see o'er lt3 mm brim Hn The sprln- bv Hip hill with the green H round Its rim; 19 he trees in their glory, the flows Hjl in their grace, IH nd love In the door with a smile on JM her face: flU A boxful of mint and good luck to the lass H As I bniiPG the tn-pen joy on the H brink of my glass!
