PRAIRIE MEADOWS 



DID you never go out on the meadows in the May- time? 

 Have you snuffed the city's smoke for a half-century? Then 

 come with me on this May-day and you will find a new 

 delight. The shining feet of day have danced away the 

 darkness and the dew. Balm is on the morning's breath, 

 and all the range is now aglow with the glimmer of the 



MEADOW BLOOM 



grass. You feel in every pulse the poesy of the prairie 

 meadows, and know for once that all "The Pipes of Pan" 

 were but a mythic dream. Uncage the boys and girls and 

 let them frolic on the wild. The Wind-flower will give 

 them welcome and the Star-grass will greet their gladness 

 on this day of May-time glee, and you, Old Man, will laugh 

 with them, for you are young again.
