NESBIT and CARIS BROOKE. Drawings by H. BELLINGHAM SMITH and others. LONDON: von PORTHEIM & Co. Paternoster Row E.C. Printed in Germany] All round the year the changing suns and rains Beat on men's work--to wreck and to decay-- But nature builds more perfectly than they, Her changing unchanged sea resists, remains. All round the year new flowers spring up to shew How gloriously life is more strong than death; And in our hearts are seeds of love and faith, Ah, sun and showers, be kind, and let them grow.

Within each hour the precious minutes lie Like seeds awaiting Spring's first breath, God's harvest-time shall show us if they bear The flowers of life or death. _Caris Brooke._ [Illustration] [Illustration] Cold is the earth, the flowers below, Fearful of Winter's hand, lie curled; But Spring will come again you know, And glorify
