THE C0U3. -Li.
THE SWEETEST MUSIC
That' a music in
the patter of the ran,
As it drip to gently
downward through the night,
Just a toothing, quiet,
sleepy, soft refrain,
A lullaby to put
your wakefulness to flight.
There's a music in the
soughing of the breeze,
Just a staging, hardly
louder than a sigh,
As it lazily goes humming
through the trees
Fanning coolly on
your forehead as you lie.
There's a music in the '
bahUe of the brook
As it ripples brightly
onward in its flow
Where the ferns and modest
violets bend and look,
In the limpid, lisping,
waters down below.
There's music in the
piping of the thrush
Just as sweet as any
sound you evefheard,
And you listen and you -wish
all else would hush
Save the singing of
the russet-coated bird.
There's a music in
the cooing of the dove,
As he struts around
his nest-mate in the shade,
But the music in the voice
of one you love
Is by far the sweetest
music ever made-
William Reed Dunroy.

Sing to the narrowed soul
and hardened heart full well
Songs of the fairest truth
and purest love that be,
No thoughts rise up to greet;
no Joy, no sympathy,
Nor hope nor aspiration

For beauty stfrs no soul
where beauty does not dwelL
