And when In merry laughter 3
Jler swt-ct, clear volco was heard, i
It wclb-d from out hor happy heart ;
I.lkn carol of n bird; ;
And nil who heard wero moved to j
smiles, :
As nt some mirthful lay, :
And to tho atmnsjer'n look replied, J
" 'TIs that dear Alice Ray." ;
And so sho came, like minbenms i
That bring1 the April Kreen;
Aa type of nature's royalty, :
They called her "Woodburn's qucenl" 3
A sweot, heart-lifting chcorfulnciu,
.il.lko spring-time of tho year,
Doomed over on her step to wait,
No wondor she wns dear.
sr
Her world won ever Joyous
She thought of grief and pain
An giants In the olden time,
That ne'er would coma nRaln;
The seasons all had chnrma for her,
i Sho welcomed each with Joy,
The charm that In her spirit lived
No changes could destroy.
Her heart was like a fountain,
Tho waters always aweot,
ner pony In the pasture,
The kitten at her feet,
Tbc ruffling bird of Juno, and
Tho wren In the old wall.
Each knew her loving carefulneta.
And came at her soft call.
Hr lore made all thing lovely,
For In the heart must live
Tho feeling that Impart the charm, ;
We gain by what we give.
