nf 5 ,ij X E 5 FASSIFERN What aileth merry Fassifern? Her thoughts seem gone astray: She sitteth lone and taciturn, She gazeth far away. Perhaps in a magic mirror she Old memories doth regaing Perhaps doth waving alders see And heather in the rain. What wanteth happy Fassifern To make her happier? What distant thing can she discern Which we might give to her? Is it a spray of alder leaves Upon her dress to wear? Is it a sprig of heather bloom To put into her hair? Ah no! It is a Cairn-gorm If truth it must be knowng The royal stone, the cairn-gorm, She yearneth for alone. We yield the precious cairn-gorm All its imputed worthg We know there are no jewels Surpassing it on earth. But, dear, we have no cairn-gorms, We are too poor for themg So we are fain to offer you A humbler gem. We have no canny cairn-gorms, Marked strange 'with blue and red So ojfer you this Sapphire, For you to wear instead. ' Rev. Dr. Orville E Watson Kenyon College Gamluer, Oh1o
