IN THE SHADOW OF 
MOOSILAUKE 
(Continued from page 231) 
a plaintaive, a half-awakened good morn¬ 
ing to the forest and its talking brock, 
It has been said “the language oi 
passion keeps time to the heartk 
rhythm,” and the pent-up beauty of souk 
in love with life and nature asserts itscll 
in song. Listen to the silvery whistle 
of chickadee tuned to a minor key, anc 
the flight song of the oven-bird which k 
all moonlight and water and fairies, li¬ 
the scream of the blue jay, the harsh¬ 
ness of the crow, the cry of the haw! 
just above the spruce spires, there is ; 
musical cadence in harmony with the 
spirit of the woods. Too much sweet¬ 
ness cloys-—a little harshness and discon 
now and then denotes the elements ol 
the wild and primeval. There was 
friendship in the birds’ song. They ap¬ 
peared unafraid. In the increasing lighi 
I made out their small forms scattem 
about the forest, and as I approaehec 
they sought the higher branches 1m 
made no attempts at flight. 
Unexpectedly there came a momen 
tary lull in the bird chorusj then musit 
welled from the depths of throats ant 
poured in an increasing flood over th< 
forest. Birds gushed with rare meloch 
who knew how to sing and a host o 
other birds joined in whether they knev 
how or not, but the sound was abroac 
and not quite unmusical when shielclec 
and covered with true song. All of ; 
sudden, the sun shot up from behind tht 
pass between Loon and Russell—a bal 
of pure gold which touched and trans 
formed the landscape like a magic wand 
In the shadowy depths sounded tb 
languorous plaint of the pewee, then th 
bird chorus swelled from a hundred o 
more throats. The evergreen bough 
were interlaced and bound with tin 
numbered arias and twitters of ever 
description. I listened to the vaunte 
songs of many warblers, the tumbling 
melody of wrens down close to th 
water, the strain of migratory sparrow 
still lingering in these choice haunts, th 
tattoo of woodpeckers, the gladness o 
vireos and flycatchers, the coarse voice 
of birds filled with spring madness an 
unable to express themselves aesthet! 
cally, yet their attempts had a touch c 
poetry—the poetry of the woods befor 
the advent of man. But the suprem 
melodists were the thrushes, the woo 
thrush and the hermit. Nothing fine 
or more laden with sheer melody in a 
the wilderness chorus—they had th 
fragrance and fragments of all hir 
music and yet borrowed nor stole froi 
none. The songs were full of spiritu; 
phantasy, rife with richness and beaut; 
filled with a trembling pathos and yean 
ing which was athirst with the nativit 
of the day. They were the souls of tl 1 
mountain wilderness asking for the in 
possible. 
S TANDING in a clump of ferns 
tossed a shining angle-worm into tl 
brook—a humble offering to the Re 
G ods. There was a fatal flash of colo 
a swirl of waters and flip of tail, ar 
the worm vanished. A good sign 1
