Besides "Rosalie, the Prairie Flower," there was "Lovely Annie Lisle," over whom the willows waved and earthly music could not waken; another named "Sweet Alice Ben Bolt" lying in the churchyard, and still another, "Lily Dale," who was pictured "'neath the trees in the flowery vale," with the wild rose blossoming o'er the little green grave.
But Beltane was already descending the steep path leading down into the great green hollow that lay all silent and deserted 'neath the ghostly moon, where nought stirred in the windless air, where bush and tree cast shadows monstrous and distorted, and where no sound brake the brooding quiet save the murmurous ripple of the brook that flowed to lose itself in the gloomy waters of that deep and sullen pool.
"In a hammock I swing, My feet hanging over; 'Neath Love's bright wing, In a hammock I swing, Loves come and they bring A truth to discover, In a hammock I swing, My feet hanging over. "That is the first stanza. There are six, and they tell the story of the picture. I will copy them into your album, if you like." "Will you? That will be so nice, if you will. The only thing is, I haven't an album."

Not the power combined Of England and rebellious Burgundy, Thy own mean spirit hurls thee from the throne. But I will throw Myself into your town my father's town And 'neath its ruins find a soldier's grave. AGNES SOREL detains him. Oh, let him not depart in anger from thee! Harsh words his lips have uttered, but his heart Is true as gold.
