Here are the words: Unfurl the flag of Freedom, Fling far the bugle blast! There cornea a sound of marching From out the mighty past. Let every peak and valley Ta' e up the valiant cry: Where, beautiful as morning, Our banner cuts the sky. Free-born to peace and justice, We stand to guard and save The liberty of manhood.

For there ia room enough for apring'a return, For lilac eveninga and the riaing moon And time enough for autumn'a idle de ., When aoul ia ripe for immortality.

And the eternal welfare of the heart. ■i II u ERE April wanders from the rainy Sound, — Ethereal Beauty in her shining veil, Who like a lyric dancer comes with joy, — And we behold entranced her mystic form Gleam through the silver showers against the hill, And must forever follow on her trace. Bewitched as children in a fairy tale By all the magic loveliness of earth. And hark, what music in the dusk is made Along the waking meadows, where the stream Murmurs at twilight when the moon is large. While from the willown in the marshy ground Rises the watery treble of the frogs, — The wild Pandean chorus of the spring ! Ill ** OW when the time of fruit and grain is come, When apples hang above the : orchard wall, And from the tangle by the road- Jside stream A scent of wild grapes fills the racy air. Comes Autumn with her sun-burnt caravan, Like a long gypsy train with trappings gay And tattered colors of the Orient, Moving slow-footed through the dreamy hills. The woods of Wilton, at her coming, wear Tints of Bokhara and of Samarcand; The maples glow with their Pompeian red. The hickories with burnt Etruscan gold ; And while the crickets fife along her march. Behind her banners burns the crimson sun. •> IV •!» HEN winter comes, along the Silvermine, And earth has put away her green attire, With all the pomp of her autumnal Ipride, The world is made a sanctuary old, Where Gothic trees uphold the arch of gray. And gaunt stone fences on the ridge's crest Stand like carved screens bttore a crimson shrine, Showing the sunset glory through the chinks. There, like a nun with frosty breath, the soul. Uplift in adoration, sees the world Transfigured as a temple of her Lord ; While down the soft blue-shadowed aisles of snow Ni-^ht, like a sacristan with silent step, Passes to light the tapers of the stars.
