POETS’ CORNER.
THE FLOWER AT HIS DOOR. Ho climbed up a hill to scatter seeds Of flowers that he loved, and hoped to find A han-py harvest to fulfil his needs; He prayed the distant meadows to he kind. And kind t.iey were; but, when his limbs grew old— When he could climb the steeper ways no more — Only one flower his weary hands could hold. That grew, by chance, beside his cot-tage-door.
