PAUL LAWRENCE Bl-BAR'S Bl-BAR'S "WHO KNOWS" A song deserving special mention Is Bung at the Isis theater this weok. Tho words, from tho pen of tho lato Paul Lawrenco Dunbar, Amorlca'6 colored col-ored poet, are beautiful in sentiment and perfoct In expression. The melody mel-ody is peculiarly fitting to tho ten der sentiment of the words, which fol. low : "Thou art tho soul of a summer's day, Thou art the breath of tho rose, But the summer Is fled and tho rose is dead; j Where nro they gone, who knows, who knows? Thou art tho blood of my heart of hearts, Thou art my soul's repose. But my heart's grown numb, and my soul Is dumb, Where art thou, lovo, who knows, who knows? "Thou art tho hope of my after years, Sun of my winter snows, But the yenrs go by 'neath a clouded sky. When shall we meet who knows, who knows " oo
