" It is the only part that is worth while," softly. There was mischief in her eyes when she face to mine. "And how about my French ?" she asked. " It is a beautiful language," I declared. me hear you speak it ?" She put both her arms about my neck down to hers. "Je vous aime," she whispered. " Which, interpreted, is to say—what ?" I She told me, in her own sweet way. I sit me, when the day is spent, In a borrowed spot, which Nature lent, With plants and flowers of Summer blo And sweestest scents of rose perfume. The suu is painting the Western sky In myriad streaks of crimson dye, Reflecting back to earthly things, Those dying beams, on golden wings. They tinge the waters with mellow red, These passing beams of silken thread, And dance upon the ripples bright In fullest measures of soft'ning light. They rest a moment'in deep, red glow, Just a moment, 'ere they go, On His church, Who, with beauty crow Every sunbeam that evening found. The moment gone, away they steal To other climes, their joys reveal, While I, in wond'ring, deep'ning thong Marvel much, what God has wrought. "AT SUNSET."
