Because it is always full of leaves.

BLUEBELLS.

Oan night as I lay in my bed A tiny voice close by me aaii,

Come to the bluebell wood,"

I rose and into the moonlight.

I flew as though I were a sprite.

And oh it did feel good

To float along through the warm air

The butterflies were every where

And bitde around me flew.

And though it certainly was nicht It seemed to me most strangely light, The sky was very, blue:

And then I sook down through the

trres

And slipping down a baby breeze Dropped lightly on the ground.

it was the bluebell wood I koek, All bathed in moonlight and in dew, Ba etill, I heard no sound.

Amidst the moes so freeb and green Masscs of bluebrils could be aven, As though they waited there For someone to appear that night : To gaze upon the lovely sight Till, crisp through the night air

I heard a call, as of a bird,

It was the clearest sound I'd heard, "The Quren. Ebe concs, els come!" Then far away sounded a flute,..

The bluebells still were tenze and

mute;

I heard the fuiry drums, Then, os Titania came in sight,

Glittering in the pure moonlight,

Tts bead each bluebell bent, And forth into the night so still Like trickling waters of a rill,

The sweetest rounds were sent,

They rang and rang antil at last

The Queen through all the throng lad

pared

*

Smiling her welcome there,

And when, ro longer could be seen The whits form of the fairy queon,·· Then ceased that music rare.

And as each year comes creeping

round

I think I hear the cohoisg sound Of bluebells in the spring.

·

Tis only in my dreams they come, With sound of fairy Bate and drom. I Lear them ring and ring.
