QUOTATIONS 



Fione Macleod, the pen name of William Sharpe, a Scotch 

 writer of prose and poetry. 



James W kite onibe Riley, an American poet living in Indiana. 



" Swiftly the dews of the gloaming are falling : 

 Faintly the bugles of Dreamland are calling. 



O hearken, my darhng, the elf-flutes are blowing 

 The shining-eyed folk from the hillside are flowing, 

 y the moonshine the wild-apple blossoms are snowing, 

 And louder and louder where the white dews are falling 

 The far-away bugles of Dreamland are calling." 



— Fione Macleod 



" When suddenly some shadow-bird 

 Goes wavering beneath the gaze, 

 And through the hedge the moan is heard 

 Of kine that fain would graze 

 ■• In grasses new, I smile and say, 



The spring is coming round this way." 



— James IVhitcombe Riley
