Night brought her blankets of fleeces and lace Tucking them gently round earth's sweet face.

Rhythm of summer is here. too. While rich cloud blankets add a subtle hue. Misty gay willow trees make me believe In fairies and elves and all of these. I wonder today how Earth can be Sparklingly lovely as a huge Christmas tree. Edith Bellamy Browning Lion Ordered To Leave Town LOS ANGELES Wl King the lion must leave town within 15 days.
