FLINT AND FEATHER
And through the lonely night sweeps their refrain
Like Chopin's prelude, sobbing 'neath the rain.
The Vine
The wild grape mantling the trail and tree,
Festoons in graceful veils its drapery,
Its tendrils cling, as cllngs the memory stirred
By some evasive haunting tune, twice heard.
The Maple
I
Voicing abroad its patriotic song.
II
The ensign of the Nation of the North.
Hare-Bell
Elfin bell in azure dress,
Chiming all day long,
Ringing through the wilderness
Dulcet notes of song.
Daintiest of forest flowers
Weaving like a spell—
Music through the Autumn hours,
Little Elfin bell.
