And last we 11 turn to that gray pile of somber stone, all ivy-clad;All peace and quiet here we find—the very air seems sweet and golden light from out the west gleams bright in yon secluded nook ;An aged monk in cowl and gown is seated there, bent oer a crimson beam falls on the page; the letters gleam beneath its ray: The world rolls on from age to age; so make the best of each short day!. EVENTIDE. by james carey thomas(age 17). The day is swift declining,And darkness comes apace ; The stars will soon be shining,The ebon night to grace. The vesper-sparrow is singingAdown by the ripplingbrook;The robin is homeward wing-ing,And homeward flies therook. Over the hills before meIs the rim of the setting sun. A feeling of peace comes oerme;The day at last is done. DOWN IN THE CHERRYORCHARD. EDWIN J. KlH, AGE 13.
