One scarce might trace the narrow path, So green it was and overgrown With springtime's seeded aftermath; Tall grasses that had never known The mower's scythe or sickle's scath, And rosy mayweed lightly sown Where'er the summer winds had blown; And all their tangled stems the red Sweet clover blossoms overspread. ONE SCARCE MIGHT TRACE THE NARROW PATH SO GREEN IT WAS AND OVERGROWN WITH SPRINGTIME'S SEATED AFTERMATH TALL GRASSES THAT HAD NEVER KNOWN THE MOWER SCYTHE OR SICKLED SCATH AND ROSY MAYWEED LIGHTLY SOWN WHEREVER THE SUMMER WINDS HAD BLOWN AND ALL THEIR TANGLED STEMS THE RED SWEET CLOVER BLOSSOMS OVERSPREAD
r might some treasure rare, So does he guard, with jealous care, A baby’s shoe. And evermore by day and night, With burning eyeballs fever-bright, This wan survivor of the sea Scans each blank, closing wall in turn, In dim endeavor to discern If sail there be. And then the weary sigh that slips Suspiring from those parching lips No heart may hear nor bleed therefor! As, with hot tears that fall like rain, He soothes a dying baby’s pain And o’er and o’er Croons snatches of soft lullabies To empty arms held cradle-wise. —O human heart-break, love and grief! God pity him in his distress, Ev’n as the sea was pitiless Beyond belief! God comfort, as with straining breath, Unheeding either life or death, Yet still with faint unwitting smile, His fingers fondly seek and fold The little sea-stained shoe, and hold And stroke the while. _THE CASCADE RAVINE_ From off the traveled road that lay Between wide fields of wheat and corn, An old gate, gray and weather-worn, Led down a shady woodland way.  THE CASCADE RAVINE BY EVELIN STEYNE READ FOR LEVERSEDA ORD BY SYLVESTER LAND FROM OFF THE TRAVELED ROAD THAT LAY BETWEEN WIDE FIELDS OF WHEAT AND CORN AN OLD GATE GRAY AND WEATHER WORN LED DOWN A SHADY WOODLAND WAY
