THE MEADOWLARK 



The cheerless remnant of the snow-drift lies 

 Along the fields, and there are wintry skies 

 Whose chilling blasts assail th^e, Meadowlark. 

 I know not how you find subsisteiice here, 

 Among the withered herbs of yester-year: 

 I grieve for your uncertain days — but hark! 

 I hear your brave note calling, loud and clear. 



— Edward R. Ford.
