ART THOU THE S A M E ?
A rt thou the same, thou sobbing winter
wind?
The same that rocked the cradle of the
May,
That whispered through the leaves of
summer noon.
And swelled the anthem of the full-
grown year?
Art thou the same, thou piteous, moan
ing thing.
Beating against the pane with ghostly
hands,
W alling In agony across the waste—
Art thou the same— the same?
Art thou the aame, thy poor heart
bruised and faint.
Treading thy way along through tw i

Art thou the same that sang to greet
the dawn,
Caroling In the eunllght like a bird.
Too glad for speech, too glad for aught
but song?
Art thou the same that prayest but for
night, .
For night to come and ease thee of thy
pain—
A rt thou the same— the same?
Thou winter wind that wallest through
the night.
Thou broken heart too crushed to moan
or cry.
There w ill be rest even for ye, poor
thing.
And more than rest—a Joy new washed

For through the portals of the fading
year
U e sunny hills and fields fresh-clad In
green.
And after night who knows what day
may bring?
And ye unchanged, the same— the same?
