Oh, April is tho poet's time
When through tho balmy days
Tho violets glance and wave and dance
All up and down the braes;
And perfume rare, lloats everywhere
From wild rose by tho hedge
And meets midvalo tho fragrance palo
Of lilly in tho hedge.
Then "Songs of Summer" swells tho chime
And "Dust his Chariot Wheels"
And "Daily Drift" with richer gift
A soulful song reveaN.

Hut 'spite of th'se our hearts to please
We'll follow ancient precedents
And W. Reed Dunroy and 1
Will grind our usual "Spring supply."
