jf IN JUNE.
When the clover's in its prime.
Then’s the sweetest marriage-time.
They the who longest honeymoon
Hare marry now tn June,
When the earth s been wooed and won.
And the summer’s just begun;
When steals the daylight half the loves to stay,
And the moonbeams night shine away; deep
And so
That there seems no time a for fnr sleep; a loan-
When the air throbs with the gush
Of the silver-throated thrush,
And the soil has felt the thrill,
And bursts into bloom at will,
Imitating every shade
That the skies have ever made;
When the perfume, songs and light.
Earth's fulfillment of her plight,
Steal into the human heart,
Making all the love-chords start
Into harmonies so sweet
That there seemeth no retreat
But to sing and blossom, too.
Just as birds and flowers do.
