ROSE AND ROOF-TREE:

SMEOP

GEORGE PARSONS LATHROP

[Illustration: JESSAMINE]

Upon the enchanted ladder of his rhymes,
Round after round and patiently
The poet ever upward climbs.

DEDICATION
.

I need give my verse no hint as to whom it sings
for. The rose, knowing her own right, makes
servitors of the light-rays to carry her color. So
every line here shall in some sense breathe of
thee, and in its very face bear record of her whom,
however unworthily, it seeks to serve and honor.

MUSIC OF GROWTH.

Music is in all growing things;
And underneath the silky wings
Of smallest insects there is stirred
A pulse of air that must be heard.
Earth's silence lives, and throbs, and sings.

If poet from the vibrant strings
Of his poor heart a measure flings,
Laugh not, that he no trumpet blows:
It may be that Heaven hears and knows
His language of low listenings.

A SONG LONG AGO.

T h r o uFgehll tchrey sptaalu sseosu nodf thy fervid singing
That thy fingers from the keys were flinging
Lightly around:
I felt the vine-like harmonies close clinging
About my soul;
A n d t oT hme yf uelly teesa, r asst forleu!it of their sweet bringing,
