MIKEEN’S QUESTIONS.
Can I tell you when will the clays get long ? And the cold be gone, and the birds make song? Little curly-head, with your eyes of blue And your dimples two, and the smile of you ! Sure, ’tis Spring •When a man’s boot can cover nine daisies. v Now can you tell me what time of the year . Far mountains seem near, and the skies are clear. Bees hum their tune in the blaze of noon, Small son, that will be a man all too soon Sure, ; ’tis June When ten bare pink toes cover nine daisies ! . —L. M. McCraith, in New Ireland.
