fll £ %aby Came RONDEAU Y Lady came across the snow, With footstep short and footstep slow, And winds blew brave and never drear, And snowbirds piped their love notes clear. Wise birds ! How did the}- know ? I took her hand and whispered low; She trembled and blushed — she did not go. Then into my arms on Winter mere My Lady came ! And winds may rave and blasts may blow — Little care I for want and woe. I think of my little lady dear; I breathe a wish that she were near, And thank the gods that long ago My Lady came. Louis M. Tobin. God made him, and therefore let him pass for a man. — Unzk :.ER. IS
