28 ROUND ABOUT CHICAGO 



we cross the bridge in the city, and we shall see 

 the warehouses fading dull gray into a pearly 

 sky above the dark gray water. Only the white 

 breasts and wings of the swooping gulls give 

 relief to the soft gray picture. 



If you see it, you will love the city too; and 

 the spirit of Pan will be with you, when the big 

 little girl has had her good-night kiss, and the big 

 boy is sleeping the sleep of tired youth, and you 

 and Mother are arranging your roots for tomor- 

 row's early planting and speaking softly of two 

 little blue-eyed girls that searched the woods for 

 the blue hepaticas in the early spring-time a whole 

 generation ago.
