Canadian Child.
"Gay little cousin
Beyond the Great Lakes
(A darling rose-bud
Amid the white flakes!)
How far is it, pray,
To the foot of the hill?"
"A swallow's flight
So smooth and so still!"
"And, prithee, how far
To the top of the hill?"
"Oh, a snail's pace
With a patient will!"
—EDITH M. THOMAS
