The American literary reciter; readings, delcamations and plays, original compositions and choice selections of the best literature .. . antle-tree,Had plodded along to almost three.

X6& <5* *3& A DREAM. THERE are times when a dreamliciousSteals into a musing hour,Like a face with love capricious That peeps from a woodland bower,And one dear scene comes changeless, A wooded hill and a river,A deep cool bend where the lilies endAnd the elm tree shadows quiver. And I lie on the brink there dreamingThat the life I live is a dream, de- That the real is but the seeming, And the true is the sun flecked stream. Beneath me the perch and the beaver sail byIn the dim cool depths of the river. The struggling fly breaks the mirrored sky,And the elm tree shadows quiver. There are voices of children away on thehill,There are bees through the flag THE PROPOSAL.
