POETRY.

SHAKESPEARE DAY: WARWICKSHIRE.

Time fairest corner of the earth Where dancing spring, Tiptoe on winter's track of dearth, Her arms ailing, Scatters broadcast treasures of light And leaves her trail A rainbow splendour flashing bright O'er hill and dale: What wonder that thy greatest son Drew from thy breast The magic power that made bins one Among the blest Immortal choir! Or that he, Where all might reign, Is set King above all to be

And to remain! A. H. L.
