THE JOY OF LIFE.
It wakes in the throat of the woodland bird, In the rose-flushed hush of the morn; It gleams in the gold of the billowing wheat And the tasseled pride of the corn; It follows the feet of beauty and love, It stirs in the strength of the strong, And its light leaps up on the trampling field Where bravery battles with wrong; _ It sings through each deed that is nobly done— But sweetest, most undefiled • It shines to the -world in the world-old way From the faces of each little child. —Priscilla Leonard. ' “Tlie Outlook.”
