" MY LORD THE SUN." FREE.

The forests sway, and homage pay, As, rising from an eastern sea

Of rosy cloud, the Sun shines proud ; Largess of light he scatters free, The will has won in a life's revolt And showers around, with glory crowned, A weird voice bids me forth His rich regalia royally. And keen as the startling thunderbolt

I haste toward the mystic north. Lo ! gray cloud-foes his path oppose, The monarch of flight is fain Then hey! for the whirlwind, headlong, grim Sun ; In mist chained fast, his splendor past, And hey ! for the iceking's glee, He spreads imploring rays in vain. Thro' zephyr and gale alike I sail The face of Day, his queen, droops gray, free. Tear-stained with drops of falling rain.

22 THE HAVERFORDIAN.

THE GYPSY BOY IN THE NORTH.

(Translated from the German.)

Far on southern shores of summer, Into notes once free from sadness, Lies fair Spain, my native land, Creeps this murmur o'er and o'er

Shady chestnuts greet the comer, Oh, my soul would fill with gladness,

Rustling on the Ebro's strand Could I see fair Spain once more. Blushing almonds there are glowing, Harvest home was rife with pleasures, Warm grapes wave upon the vines, Feast, and song, and roundelay, Sweeter roses there are growing. And I played my gayest measures And the moon more golden shines. < On that happy holiday.

Now with lute I wander sadly, Though my eyes their feet did follow Sadly here from door to door, In the evening sunlight's gold, And no bright eye beaming gladly, Down my cheeks so brown and hollow, Smiles upon me as of yore. Burning tears of longing rolled. Sparingly the alms are given,

No ! my heart with throbbing riven Sullenly they bid me go,

Shall no longer mourning roam ! Nor the poor lad from them driven, Every pleasure will be given, Do they even care to know. In return for joy of home Fogs oppress me tired and weary, Then in Spain, the land of summer, Fogs that steal the sun from me, Shall the chestnut's mellow shade And the olden songs so cheery, Gently kiss the weary comer, All forgotten soon will be. There his grave at last be made. CRICKET.

SONG.

There is a place of peace I know Come to the cricket shed with me

No city doth surround her; Ouick ! ere the snow-balls follow,

A foster-mother kind and true, Hark ! how the merry skaters' glee Her sons have ever found her. Rings from the misty hollow.

O Haverford ! time-honored word, sun rises joyously, Thy walls aye grow the dearer, The May

And calls me from my pillow : Not sweeter to the nesting bird, The morning breezes whisper me, The cry never nearer. Of wickets and the willow. A smack of winter in the air, Between the maple leaves you catch

Aloft the foot- ball soaring, The gleam of white forms striving ;

All to the field of fight repair, And hark ! the music of the match, To see the team a scoring. Hear the bold batsmen driving. At night a chain of leaf-fires gleams,

And cool the days are dawning, O Haverford ! tho' far I've been While through my lattice-leaves there streams, For pleasure or for duty, All crimson dyed, the morning. No pleasures like to thine I've seen, No beauty like thy beauty. No silence with the snowflakes falls, Thy dear name written on my heart, Though hushed the robin's matin': Can be effaced never,

Still breaks the sound of bat and balls, Till from the school of life I part, To lure me from my Latin. And close my book for ever.
