. St. Nicholas [serial] . BY MAKJOKIE MclVEK, AGE 14. (SILVER BADGE.) 754 ST. NICHOLAS LEAGUE. [June,. We lull to sleepThe grass-blades deep,When fields are green. When fields are greenWe dance unseen ;We rock the flowersTo sleep for hours,When fields are green.{Marjories headdroops.) IN JUNE-TIME. Illustrated Poem. (Cash Prize.) There s silverbirch adown theglen, and daintyaspen blowing,And here beneaththe tangled boughs a moun-tain brook isflowing —With here a littlefern-girt pooland there theswifter reaches,All dark and green among the rocks and golden on the here across a smooth green stone a crystal sheet goes sliding;Below the water gurgles soft, among the boulders hiding ;And then again across a ledge a veil of silver shimmers,And at its foot all shadow-flecked the ghostly water here, where through the parted boughs comes summer sunlight streaming,A single branch of brier-rose hangs oer the brooklet gleaming,And swinging on the rosy spray a brown-coat elf a-tilting —A little merry woodland bird, his happy carol Douglas (age 14).
