YEAR FOLLOWS YEAR.
Year follows und down our widespread vales The brown squares- change to green, the grety to gold; 1 he old leaves <lanee before the autumn gales, Beneath the April sun new leaves unfold.. And 1 joys and sorrows neither new nor old.
Veur-follows year, <jrty gulls behind the plough Stur the cloud-purple uf November noons; 111 .Uarch tlic plover to the windy Uuowe fries welcome, and tin; owl to summer moons; And every llower throbs out its heart to June's.
We live ami labor, harboring no iear Dut that the dawn will blossom at its hour, That month will follow mouth, year follow year. And dark succeed to daylight with its dower Of star and shadow, night's own leaf and ilower.
Year follows jear. Our weak hearts could not cope With what the grey world jiives of dool and -skaith. !>ut lliat each New Veai' brings to us new hope. (irief plidiC's. a ghost; Jov tsu lleetmg wraith; And the one watchword of the years is '"Faitn." —Will Ogilvie, in the Glasgow Herald.
