At Her Loom.

While the watcrcrcsscs slumber. While the birds are tew In number, Spring is busy at her loom. Weaving for the time of bloom: For the trees, a bright green awning, For the time of vernal dawning; With a warp of living green. With a weft of flowery sheen, Hright the wreaths to deck her pillow— Hanging from the oak and willow— Soon her robes of living green In their beauty will be seen. Watch the swiftness of her Angers ; Weaving, where the sunlight lingers In the mossy meadow nook. By the gently purling brook. Soon we'll see tho sweet unveiling Of the pink arbutus trailing: Then the snowdrops will peep up And the yellow buttercup— When the days are soft and ha 7.7 Smile beside the nodding daisy, And her shuttle she will ply 'Noath a sunny, azure sky, 'Till her weft and warp she closes vVith the blooming of the roses. —Boston Glob*
