GARDENERS' CHRONICLE 



DAFFODIL DAYS 



February smiled. And lo ! — 

 Down the garden valleys blow 

 Yellow frills 

 Of Daffodils; 



Fluttering in windy spaces ; 

 Curtsying in sheltered places. 

 Sunlight shed through naked trees 

 Has no fairer glow than these 

 Precious hostages of Spring. 

 Set with tall leaves in a ring — 

 Flame-like blades of shiiu'ng green 

 Drawn to guard each golden queen. 



C. S. Mo.VlTOR. 



MARCH WIND 



Rough courier that speaks the swift advance 

 Of lifting hyacinths and tulip tide ; 



.•\nd warming earth that shows the tliin green 

 lance 

 Of tender grass on meadows rolling widv 



\'anguard of force to clean the drab terrain 

 Of Winter's crowding flotsam, so that out 



The willow trees will drip with silver rain. 

 Through the wet witchery of an April 

 noon. 



We hear it roaring down the country-side. 

 And through the city as the shutters 

 swing ; 

 .\ shouting envoy and a bustling guide, 

 To blaze a pathway for the timid Spring. 

 C. S. Monitor.
