'POETRY.

SEE WHERE YOUNG LOVE. SEE where Young Love sits all alone,

And sucks his thumb, and broods : And all because you women have These ever-changing moods.

See how he sits in this cold air, That has the breath of tears : Waiting until your mood has changed, And one round drop appears.

Till one round trembling tear-drop leaps

From the corner of your eyes—

To show your mood has changed again, And tears have made you wise.

W. H. DAVIES.
