THE FLOCKS OF SPRING. When the winter is done, and April's dawning Shatters the dark of the year, And the rain-fed rivulet under bridge Again runs clear. the And the shepherd sun comes over the hill To let out the flocks of Spring, With laughter and light in the pas- tures of air The flecks take wing. They scatter on every : wind,-- The perfume, and the bee, And the whispers of the jostling grass Glad to be free. lingering The minstrelsy of the shining pools Thexdancing of the hoursj And over the sod in a sudden rapture Flame the flowers.

Don't laugh and say: "What was good endugh for my mother is good enough for me." It isn't if you have opportunities given to you your mother had not.
